Psa56 - HOLY BIBLE

Psalms – Chapter 56

¹For the director. According to Yonath elem rehoqim. A miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him at Gath.

²Have mercy on me, God,

for I am treated harshly;

attackers press me all the day.

³My foes treat me harshly all the day;

yes, many are my attackers.

O Most High,

⁴when I am afraid,

in you I place my trust.

⁵I praise the word of God;

I trust in God, I do not fear.

What can mere flesh do to me?

⁶All the day they foil my plans;

their every thought is of evil against me.

⁷They hide together in ambush;

they watch my every step;

they lie in wait for my life.

⁸They are evil; watch them, God!

Cast the nations down in your anger!

⁹My wanderings you have noted;

are my tears not stored in your flask,

recorded in your book?

¹⁰My foes turn back when I call on you.

This I know: God is on my side.

¹¹I praise the word of God,

I praise the word of the LORD.

¹²In God I trust, I do not fear.

What can man do to me?

¹³I have made vows to you, God;

with offerings I will fulfill them,

¹⁴For you have snatched me from death,

kept my feet from stumbling,

That I may walk before God

in the light of the living.
