Ps 56

0 Psalm 56 For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath. 1 Be merciful to me, O God; for man would swallow me up: All the day long he fighting oppresses me. 2 Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me. 3 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. 4 In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do to me? 5 All the day long they wrest my words: All their thoughts are against me for evil. 6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, They mark my steps, Even as they have waited for my soul. 7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God. 8 You number my wanderings: Put you my tears into your bottle; Are they not in your book? 9 Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: This I know, that God is for me. 10 In God (I will praise [his] word), In YHWH (I will praise [his] word), 11 In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do to me? 12 Your vows are upon me, O God: I will render thank-offerings to you. 13 For you have delivered my soul from death: [Have you] not [delivered] my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?
