Psalm 56 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psa 56:1To the Overseer. -- 'On the Dumb Dove far off.' -- A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,
Psa 56:2Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many are fighting against me, O most High,
Psa 56:3The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.
Psa 56:4In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me.
Psa 56:5All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts are for evil,
Psa 56:6They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.
Psa 56:7By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.
Psa 56:8My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou -- place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?
Psa 56:9Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God is for me.
Psa 56:10In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word.
Psa 56:11In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,
Psa 56:12On me, O God, are Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.
Psa 56:13For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!
