Deacon Tim Mortag teaches about Psalm 56 "In God I Trust" on 2/25/2026 for our Sunday service.

Psalm 56:1-13

In God I Trust

1 Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up;

Fighting all day he oppresses me. 2 My enemies would hound me all day,

For there are many who fight against me, O Most High. 3 Whenever I am afraid,

I will trust in You. 4 In God (I will praise His word),

In God I have put my trust;

I will not fear.

What can flesh do to me?

5 All day they twist my words;

All their thoughts are against me for evil. 6 They gather together,

They hide, they mark my steps,

When they lie in wait for my life. 7 Shall they escape by iniquity?

In anger cast down the peoples, O God!

8 You number my wanderings;

Put my tears into Your bottle;

Are they not in Your book? 9 When I cry out to You,

Then my enemies will turn back;

This I know, because God is for me. 10 In God (I will praise His word),

In the LORD (I will praise His word), 11 In God I have put my trust;

I will not be afraid.

What can man do to me?

12 Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God;

I will render praises to You, 13 For You have delivered my soul from death.

Have You not kept my feet from falling,

That I may walk before God

In the light of the living?
