Chapter 56

56,1

For the Leader; upon Jonath-elem-rehokim. [A Psalm] of David; Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath.

56,2

Be gracious unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; all the day he fighting oppresseth me.

56,3

They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up all the day; for they are many that fight against me, O Most High,

56,4

In the day that I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.

56,5

In God--I will praise His word-- in God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto me?

56,6

All the day they trouble mine affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

56,7

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps; according as they have waited for my soul.

56,8

Because of iniquity cast them out; in anger bring down the peoples, O God.

56,9

Thou has counted my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?

56,10

Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call; this I know, that God is for me.

56,11

In God--I will praise His word--in the Lord--I will praise His word--

56,12

In God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can man do unto me?

56,13

Thy vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank-offerings unto Thee.

56,14

For thou hast delivered my soul from death; hast Thou not delivered my feet from stumbling? that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
