Psalm 56:2 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 56.

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for men are hounding me; all day they press their attack.

2 My enemies pursue me all day long, for many proudly assail me.

3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.

4 In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

5 All day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are on my demise.

6 They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.
