Psalms 56

1 Unto the end. For the people who have become far removed from the Sacred. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when the Philistines held him in Gath. Have mercy on me, O God, because man has trampled over me. All day long, he has afflicted me by fighting against me.

Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance from the sanctuary for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar) when the Philistines held him in Geth. Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.

2 My enemies have trampled over me all day long. For those who make war against me are many.

My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.

3 From the height of the day, I will be afraid. But truly, I will hope in you.

From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.

4 In God, I will praise my words. In God, I have put my trust. I will not fear what flesh can do to me.

In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me.

5 All day long, they curse my words. All their intentions are for evil against me.

All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.

6 They will dwell and hide themselves. They will watch my heel, just as they waited for my soul;

They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,

7 because of this, nothing will save them. In your anger, you will crush the people.

For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces, O God,

8 O God, I have announced my life to you. You have placed my tears in your sight, and even in your promise.

I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.

9 Then my enemies will be turned back. On whatever day that I call upon you, behold, I know that you are my God.

Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.

10 In God, I will praise the word. In the Lord, I will praise his speech.

In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech.

11 In God, I have hoped. I will not fear what man can do to me.

In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.

12 My vows to you, O God, are in me. I will repay them. Praises be to you.

In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:

13 For you have rescued my soul from death and my feet from slipping, so that I may be pleasing in the sight of God, in the light of the living.

Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
