Psalms 56:1-6 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Be gracious to me, O God, for man would crush me;all day long he who battles oppressesme.

2. All day long my enemies would crush me,for there are many who arrogantly battle against me.

3. In the day when I am afraid,I will trust in You.

4. In God whose word I praise,in God I have trusted; I will not fear.What can mere flesh do to me?

5. Every day they twist my words;all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6. They stir up strife, they lurk,they watch my steps,when they wait for my life.
