Psalms 56

56
To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.
1Be gracious to me, O God, for men trample upon me;
all day long foemen oppress me;
2my enemies trample upon me all day long,
for many fight against me proudly.
3When I am afraid,
I put my trust in thee.
4In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust without a fear.
What can flesh do to me?
5All day long they seek to injure my cause;
all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6They band themselves together, they lurk,
they watch my steps.
As they have waited for my life,
7so recompense#56.7 Cn: Heb deliver them for their crime;
in wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
8Thou hast kept count of my tossings;
put thou my tears in thy bottle!
Are they not in thy book?
9Then my enemies will be turned back
in the day when I call.
This I know, that#56.9 Or because God is for me.
10In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
11in God I trust without a fear.
What can man do to me?
12My vows to thee I must perform, O God;
I will render thank offerings to thee.
13For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
yea, my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.
