Psalms 56

To the chief Musician upon Jonath–elem–rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.Michtam…: or, A golden Psalm of David.

1Be mercifulH2603 unto me, O GodH430: for manH582 would swallow me upH7602; he fightingH3898 dailyH3117 oppressethH3905 me.

2Mine enemiesH8324 would dailyH3117 swallowH7602 me up: for they be manyH7227 that fightH3898 against me, O thou most HighH4791.1

3What timeH3117 I am afraidH3372, I will trustH982 in thee.

4In GodH430 I will praiseH1984 his wordH1697, in GodH430 I have put my trustH982; I will not fearH3372 what fleshH1320 can doH6213 unto me.

5Every dayH3117 they wrestH6087 my wordsH1697: all their thoughtsH4284 are against me for evilH7451.

6They gather themselves togetherH1481, they hideH6845 themselves, they markH8104 my stepsH6119, when they waitH6960 for my soulH5315.

7Shall they escapeH6405 by iniquityH205? in thine angerH639 cast downH3381 the peopleH5971, O GodH430.

8Thou tellestH5608 my wanderingsH5112: putH7760 thou my tearsH1832 into thy bottleH4997: are they not in thy bookH5612?

9WhenH3117 I cryH7121 unto thee, then shall mine enemiesH341 turnH7725 backH268: this I knowH3045; for GodH430 is for me.

10In GodH430 will I praiseH1984 his wordH1697: in YhwhH3068 will I praiseH1984 his wordH1697.

11In GodH430 have I put my trustH982: I will not be afraidH3372 what manH120 can doH6213 unto me.

12Thy vowsH5088 are upon me, O GodH430: I will renderH7999 praisesH8426 unto thee.

13For thou hast deliveredH5337 my soulH5315 from deathH4194: wilt not thou deliver my feetH7272 from fallingH1762, that I may walkH1980 beforeH6440 GodH430 in the lightH216 of the livingH2416?
