< Psalms 56 >

1 To the choirmaster - on yonath-elem-rechokim of David a miktam when seized him [the] Philistines in Gath. Show favor to me O God for he has crushed me man all the day [one who] fights he oppresses me.
To the chief music-maker; put to Jonath elem rehokim. Of David. Michtam. When the Philistines took him in Gath. Have mercy on me, O God, for man is attempting my destruction; every day he makes cruel attacks against me.
2 They have crushed [me] enemies my all the day for many [people] [are] fighting to me height.
My haters are ever ready to put an end to me; great numbers are lifting themselves up against me.
3 A day [when] I will fear I to you I will trust.
In the time of my fear, I will have faith in you.
4 In God I will praise word his in God I have trusted not I am afraid what? will it do flesh to me.
In God will I give praise to his word; in God have I put my hope; I will have no fear of what flesh may do to me.
5 All the day words my they twist [are] on me all plans their for evil.
Every day they make wrong use of my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They stir up trouble - (they lie hidden *Q(K)*) they heels my they watch for just as they have waited for life my.
They come together, they are waiting in secret places, they take note of my steps, they are waiting for my soul.
7 Because of wickedness (not *X*) deliver them in anger peoples - bring down O God.
By evil-doing they will not get free from punishment. In wrath, O God, let the peoples be made low.
8 Wandering my you have taken account of you put! tear[s] my in skin-bottle your ¿ not [is it] in scroll your.
You have seen my wanderings; put the drops from my eyes into your bottle; are they not in your record?
9 Then they will turn back enemies my backwards on [the] day [when] I will call out this I know that God [is] for me.
When I send up my cry to you, my haters will be turned back; I am certain of this, for God is with me.
10 In God I will praise a word in Yahweh I will praise a word.
In God will I give praise to his word; in the Lord will I give praise to his word.
11 In God I have trusted not I am afraid what? will he do anyone to me.
In God have I put my hope, I will have no fear of what man may do to me.
12 [are] on Me O God vows your I will pay thank-offerings to you.
I keep the memory of my debt to you, O God; I will give you the offerings of praise.
13 For you have delivered life my from death ¿ not feet my from stumbling to go about before God in [the] light of life.
Because you have taken my soul from the power of death; and kept my feet from falling, so that I may be walking before God in the light of life.
