Psalm 56:5

A Call For God's Protection

⁴ In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I will not fear.
What can man do to me? ⁵ They twist my words all day long;
all their thoughts against me are evil.
⁶ They stir up strife, they lurk;
they watch my steps
while they wait to take my life.

All Day Long
