CHAP. LVI.
1 Dauid praying to God in confidence of his word, complaineth of his enemies. 9 Hee professeth his confidence in Gods word, and promiseth to praise him.
2 Mine enemies would dayly swallow me vp: for they bee many that fight against me, O thou most high.2
3 What time I am afraide, I will trust in thee.
5 Euery day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against mee for euill.
7 Shall they escape by iniquitie? in thine anger cast downe the people, O God.
8 Thou tellest my wanderings, put thou my teares into thy bottle: are they not in thy booke?
9 When I crie vnto thee, then shall mine enemies turne backe: this I know, for God is for me.
10 In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word.
11 In God haue I put my trust: I will not bee afraid what man can doe vnto me.
12 Thy vowes are vpon me, O God: I will render praises vnto thee.
