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.

“For the leader of the music. To be sung to the tune of “The dumb dove among strangers.” A psalm of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.” Have pity upon me, O God! for man panteth for my life; My adversary daily oppresseth me!

2 They have crushed [me] enemies my all the day for many [people] [are] fighting to me height.

Mine enemies daily pant for my life, And many are they who war proudly against me.

3 A day [when] I will fear I to you I will trust.

When I am in fear, I will put my trust in thee!

4 In God I will praise word his in God I have trusted not I am afraid what? will it do flesh to me.

Through God shall I praise his word; In God do I put my trust; I will not fear; What can flesh do to me?

5 All the day words my they twist [are] on me all plans their for evil.

Every day they wrest 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 gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they watch my steps, Lying in wait for my life.

7 Because of wickedness (not *X*) deliver them in anger peoples - bring down O God.

Shall they escape by their iniquity? In thine anger cast down the people, O God!

8 Wandering my you have taken account of you put! tear[s] my in skin-bottle your ¿ not [is it] in scroll your.

Count thou my wanderings; Put my tears into thy bottle! Are they not recorded in thy book?

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 cry to thee, my enemies shall turn back; This I know, that God is for me.

10 In God I will praise a word in Yahweh I will praise a word.

Through God shall I praise his word; I shall glory in the promise of Jehovah.

11 In God I have trusted not I am afraid what? will he do anyone to me.

In God do I put my trust; I will not fear: What can man do to me?

12 [are] on Me O God vows your I will pay thank-offerings to you.

Thy vows are upon me, O God! I will render praises to thee!

13 For you have delivered life my from death ¿ not feet my from stumbling to go about before God in [the] light of life.

For thou hast delivered me from death, Yea, my feet from falling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living.
