56Psalms

To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Prayer for Deliverance. Psalm 56(v55)
1 Be gracious to me, O God, for men trample upon me;
all day long foemen oppress me;

 
2 my enemies trample upon me all day long,
for many fight against me proudly.

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

 
4 In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust without a fear.
What can flesh do to me?

 
5 All day long they seek to injure my cause;
all their thoughts are against me for evil.

 
6 They band themselves together,
they lurk, they watch my steps.
As they have waited for my life,

 
7 so recompense them for their crime;
in wrath cast down the peoples, O God!

 
8 Thou hast kept count of my tossings;
put thou my tears in thy bottle!
Are they not in thy book?

 
9 Then my enemies will be turned back in the day when I call.
This I know, that God is for me.

 
10 In God, whose word I praise,
in the LORD, whose word I praise,

 
11 in God I trust without a fear.
What can man do to me?

 
12 My vows to thee I must perform, O God;
I will render thank offerings to thee.

 
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
yea, my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God in the light of life.
