Psalms 56

To the director; for the people being far from the holy things; to David; for an inscription on a monument; when the Philistines held him in Gath.

56:1Show mercy on me, O God! for man trampled me. The entire day in waging war he afflicted me.

56:2My enemies trampled me the entire day, for many are the ones waging war against me from the height.

56:3I do not fear the day, and I shall hope upon you.

56:4In God I will praise by my words. Upon God I hoped. I shall not fear what flesh shall do to me.

56:5The entire day they abhorred my words; all their thoughts are against me for bad.

56:6They will sojourn and hide; they will guard my heel, just as they wait for my life.

56:7For by no means will you deliver them; you will lead down peoples in anger.

56:8O God, my life I declared to you; you put my tears before you, as even according to your promise.

56:9My enemies shall turn to the rear, in which ever day I should call upon you. Behold, I knew that you are my God.

56:10Unto God I will praise by discourse; unto the lord I will praise by word.

56:11Unto God I hoped; I will not be afraid in what man shall do to me.

56:12In me, O God, are the vows which I shall give of your praise.

56:13For you rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from a slip. I shall be well-pleasing before the lord in the light of the living.
