Psa 56:1

For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. A Psalm of David. Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath.

Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up:

All the day long he fighting oppresseth me.

Psa 56:2

Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long;

For they are many that fight proudly against me.

Psa 56:3

What time I am afraid,

I will put my trust in thee.

Psa 56:4

In God (I will praise his word),

In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid;

What can flesh do unto me?

Psa 56:5

All the day long they wrest my words:

All their thoughts are against me for evil.

Psa 56:6

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,

They mark my steps,

Even as they have waited for my soul.

Psa 56:7

Shall they escape by iniquity?

In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

Psa 56:8

Thou numberest my wanderings:

Put thou my tears into thy bottle;

Are they not in thy book?

Psa 56:9

Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call:

This I know, that God is for me.

Psa 56:10

In God (I will praise his word),

In Jehovah (I will praise his word),

Psa 56:11

In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid;

What can man do unto me?

Psa 56:12

Thy vows are upon me, O God:

I will render thank-offerings unto thee.

Psa 56:13

For thou hast delivered my soul from death:

Hast thou not delivered my feet from falling,

That I may walk before God

In the light of the living?
