Psa 56:1
For the choir director. According to [fn]Jonath Elem Rehokim. A [fn]Mikhtam of David. [fn]When the Philistines seized him in Gath.
Be H2603 gracious H2603 to me, O God H430, for man H582 has [fn]trampled H7602 upon me;
All H3605 day H3117 long, an attacker H3898 oppresses H3905 me.
Psa 56:2
My foes H8324 have [fn]trampled H7602 upon me all H3605 day H3117 long,
For many H7227 attack H3898 me proudly H4791.
Psa 56:3
[fn]When H3117 I am H3372 afraid H3372,
[fn]I will trust H982 in You.
Psa 56:4
In God H430, whose word H1697 I praise H1984,
In God H430 I trust H982;
I shall not be H3372 afraid H3372.
What H4100 can mere [fn]man H1320 do H6213 to me?
Psa 56:5
All H3605 day H3117 long they [fn]distort H6087 my words H1697;
All H3605 their [fn]thoughts H4284 are against H5921 me for evil H7451.
Psa 56:6
They [fn]attack H1481, they lurk H6845,
They watch H8104 my heels H6119,
As they have hoped H6960 to take my [fn]life H5315.
Psa 56:7
On H5921 account H5921 of H5921 their wickedness H205, will they have an escape H6405?
In anger H639, bring H3381 down H3381 the peoples H5971, O God H430!
Psa 56:8
You have taken H5608 account H5608 of my wanderings H5112;
Put H7760 my tears H1832 in Your bottle H4997.
Are they not in Your book H5612?
Psa 56:9
Then H227 my enemies H340 will turn H7725 back H268 in the day H3117 when I call H7121;
This H2088 I know H3045, [fn]that God H430 is for me.
Psa 56:10
In Yahweh H3068, whose word H1697 I praise H1984,
Psa 56:11
In God H430 I [fn]trust H982, I shall not be H3372 afraid H3372.
What H4100 can man H120 do H6213 to me?
Psa 56:12
Your vows H5088 are binding upon me, O God H430;
I will [fn]fulfill H7999 thank H8426 offerings H8426 to You.
Psa 56:13
[fn]For You have delivered H5337 my soul H5315 from death H4194,
Indeed H3808 my feet H7272 from stumbling H1762,
So that I may walk H1980 before H6440 God H430
In the light H216 of the [fn]living H2416.
