Psalm 56:5

A Call For God's Protection

⁴ In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? ⁵ All day long they distort my words;
All their thoughts are against me for evil.
⁶ They attack, they lurk, and they watch my steps. They have waited for my life.

All Day Long
