56:1 [To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.] Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me; 56:2 my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly. 56:3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. 56:4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me 56:5 All day long they injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil. 56:6 They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps, as they have waited for my life. 56:7 For their crime will they escape In wrath cast down the peoples, O God! 56:8 You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book 56:9 Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me. 56:10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, 56:11 in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me 56:12 I must perform my vows to you, O God; I will render thank offerings to you. 56:13 For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
