Psa 56:1(LXX 55:1) For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the [fn]sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. (55:2) Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.
Psa 56:2(LXX 55:3) Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.
Psa 56:3(LXX 55:4) They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee.
Psa 56:4(LXX 55:5) In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.
Psa 56:5(LXX 55:6) All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices are against me for evil.
Psa 56:6(LXX 55:7) They will dwell near and hide themselves; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.
Psa 56:7(LXX 55:8) Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in wrath.
Psa 56:8(LXX 55:9) O God, I have declared my life to thee; thou hast set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise.
Psa 56:9(LXX 55:10) Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon thee; behold, I know that thou art my God.
Psa 56:10(LXX 55:11) In God will I praise his word; in the Lord will I praise his saying.
Psa 56:11(LXX 55:12) I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.
Psa 56:12(LXX 55:13) The vows of thy praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.
Psa 56:13(LXX 55:14) For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
