Sons of Korah - Psalm 56 lyrics

Be merciful to me, O my God
For my enemies pursue me all day long
All day they press their attack against me

Be merciful to me, O my God
My slanderers pursue me all day long
Many come to attack me in their pride

When I am afraid, O Lord, I will trust in You
In God alone, whose word I truly praise
In God I trust and I will never fear
For what can mortal man ever do to me?
They twist my words all day
They plot to harm me
They conspire and lurk and
Watch my every step
Eager for a chance to take my life
To take my life

But on no account let them escape
In Your anger God, bring down, bring down
Bring down but on no account let them escape
In Your anger God, bring down, bring down
Bring down bring down the nations

Record my lament, O Lord
List my tears, list my tears upon Your scroll
Then all my enemies, O Lord
Will turn back when I call for help

By this I will know that God is for me
In God Whose word I praise
In the Lord Whose word I praise
In God alone I trust i will not be afraid
What can mortal man do to me?
I am under vows to You, O my God
I present my offerings
Thank-offerings to You
From death You have delivered me
And my feet from stumbling
That I may walk before my God in the light
In the light
In the light of life, in the light of life
In the light of life
