“"In God I will praise my discourses, in God I have hoped: I will not fear what flesh doeth to me" [Psalm 56:4]. Wherefore? Because in God I will praise my discourses. If in thyself thou praisest thy discourses: I say not that thou art not to fear; it is impossible that thou have not to fear. For thy discourses either…”
Augustine of Hippo, 5th c. — On the Psalms, Psalm 56

2Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
— Psalms 56:4 —
5Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
