Psalms 56:5-7
Psalms 56:5-7 The Message (MSG)
They don’t let up— they smear my reputation and huddle to plot my collapse. They gang up, sneak together through the alleys To take me by surprise, wait their chance to get me. Pay them back in evil! Get angry, God! Down with these people!
Psalms 56:5-7 King James Version (KJV)
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.
Psalms 56:5-7 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
All day long they distort my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil. They attack, they lurk, They watch my steps, As they have waited to take my life. Because of wickedness, cast them forth, In anger put down the peoples, O God!
Psalms 56:5-7 New Century Version (NCV)
All day long they twist my words; all their evil plans are against me. They wait. They hide. They watch my steps, hoping to kill me. God, do not let them escape; punish the foreign nations in your anger.
Psalms 56:5-7 American Standard Version (ASV)

Psalms 56:5-7 Amplified Bible (AMP)
All day long they twist my words and say hurtful things; All their thoughts are against me for evil. They attack, they hide and lurk, They watch my steps, As they have [expectantly] waited to take my life. Cast them out because of their wickedness. In anger bring down the peoples, O God!
Psalms 56:5-7 New Living Translation (NLT)
They are always twisting what I say; they spend their days plotting to harm me. They come together to spy on me— watching my every step, eager to kill me. Don’t let them get away with their wickedness; in your anger, O God, bring them down.
Psalms 56:5-7 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Day after day cruel critics distort my words; constantly they plot my collapse. They lurk in the dark, waiting, spying on my movements in secret to take me by surprise, ready to take my life. They don’t deserve to get away with this! Look at their wickedness, their injustice, Lord. In your fierce anger cast them down to defeat.
