“O God, have mercy on me, for people are hounding me. My foes attack me all day long. I am constantly hounded by those who slander me, and many are boldly attacking me.
But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. I praise God for what He has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
I praise God for what He has promised; yes, I praise the Lord for what He has promised; yes I praise the Lord for what He has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do for me?
I will fulfill my vows to you, O God, and will offer a sacrifice of thanks for Your help. For You have rescued me from death; you have kept my feet from slipping. So now I can walk in your presence, O For, in your life-giving light.” (Psalm 56: 1-4, 10-13, NLT)
