Psalms 56

Pleading for Help and Grateful Trust in God.

For the music director; according to Or The silent dove of those who are far off; or The dove of the distant terebinthsJonath elem rehokim. A Possibly Epigrammatic Poem; or Atonement PsalmMikhtam of David, 1 Sam 21:10, 11when the Philistines seized him in Gath.

1Be gracious to me, God, for a man has 12trampled upon me; 3Fighting all day long he 4oppresses me.2My enemies have 5trampled upon me all day long, For 6they are many who 7fight proudly against me.38When I am 9afraid, 10I will 11put my trust in You.412In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. 13What can mere 14mortals do to me?5All day long they 15distort my words; All their 1617thoughts are against me for evil.6They 1819attack, they lurk, They 20watch my 21steps, As they have 22waited to take my 23life.7Because of their wickedness, will there be an 24escape for them? In anger 25make the peoples fall down, God!

8You 26have taken account of my 27miseries; Put my 28tears in Your bottle. Are they not in 29Your book?9Then my enemies will 30turn back 31on the day when I call; This I know, 32that 33God is for me.10In God, whose word I praise, In the Lord, whose word I praise,11In God I have put my 34trust, I shall not be afraid. What can mankind do to me?12Your 35vows are binding upon me, God; I will render thanksgiving offerings to You.13For You have 36saved my soul from death, 37Indeed 38my feet from stumbling, So that I may 39walk before God In the 40light of the 41living.
