Psalms 56:6


← Psalms 56:5 Psalms 56:6 (KJV) Psalms 56:7 →
Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
