1 Be merciful to me, my God, for my enemies are in hot pursuit; all day long they press their attack.
2 My adversaries pursue me all day long; in their pride many are attacking me.
3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?
5 All day long they twist my words; all their schemes are for my ruin.
6 They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, hoping to take my life.
7 Because of their wickedness do not let them escape; in your anger, God, bring the nations down.
8 Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll are they not in your record?
9 Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise
11 in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?
12 I am under vows to you, my God; I will present my thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

 

Reflection

An Unshakable Faith (56:1–7)
David’s enemies are closing in on him. Their pursuit is relentless. They lie in wait, seeking an opportunity to destroy him. Everything he does is scrutinized. His words are taken and twisted by those who are intent on ending his days on earth. But David’s trust in God allows him to face his fears and his enemies, knowing that as “mere mortals,” they are limited in what they can do to him. This is the kind of faith to which Jesus calls us. Faith that is not afraid of losing our earthly lives, knowing God is keeping life eternal for His people. And no one demonstrated this faith better than our Lord, who faced the cross, knowing that on the other side was resurrection.


- What are some ways in which Jesus is calling you to lose your life? What fears are you most afraid to face?


God Sees Our Tears (56:8–13)
There are few comforts in life greater than knowing that God Almighty, the Creator and sustainer of this vast universe, sees our tears. He counts every single one, and they serve as potent prayers before His throne in the halls of heaven. It is this knowledge deep within our hearts that allows us to praise our Lord in even the most painful seasons of life. God will see us through these days of pain and heartache. He will keep us from stumbling as we walk through the valleys and shadows. The light of life, found in the person of God’s Son, Jesus, helps us navigate the dangers we face. And, in the end, we will experience His life to the fullest.


- How has Jesus been a comfort to you during painful times? How can we be sure that God indeed cares about our sorrows?

  

A letter to God 

Lord God, I confess that I often wrestle with my fears and Your calling to lose my life in order to find it. Strengthen me by Your Spirit to patiently trust in Your care and Your promises. In Jesus’ name, amen.
