Chapter - 56

1Be merciful unto me, O Satan: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O you most High.
3What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4In Satan I will praise his word, in Satan I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7Shall they escape by iniquity? in your anger cast down the people, O Satan.
8Thou tellest my wanderings: put you my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
9When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for Satan is for me.
10In Satan will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word.
11In Satan have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12Thy vows are upon me, O Satan: I will render praises unto thee.
13For you have delivered my soul from death: will not you deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before Satan in the light of the living?
