Psalms, Chapter 56
1
For the Chief Musician; set to The Silent Dove - Those Far Away. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath.
Be merciful to me, O God; for common man would swallow me up:All the day long those fighting oppress me.
2
My enemies would swallow me up all the day long;For they are many who fight proudly against me.
3
When I am afraid,I will put my trust in you.
4
In God (I will praise [his Speech])In God I have put my trust, I will not be afraid;What can flesh do to me?
5
All the day long they wrest my words:All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,They mark my steps,Even as they have waited for my soul.
7
Will they escape by iniquity?In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
8
You number my wanderings:Put my tears into your bottle;Are they not in your book?
9
Then my enemies will turn back in the day that I call:This I know, that God is for me.
10
In God, I will praise [his Speech];In Yahweh, I will praise [his Speech];
11
In [the Speech of] God I have put my trust, I will not be afraid;What can man do to me?
12
Your vows are on me, O God:I will render thank-offerings to you.
13
For you have delivered my soul from death:[Have you] not [delivered] my feet from falling,That I may walk before GodIn the light of the living?
