PS-56:1 To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam

of David, when

the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God:

for man would

swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

PS-56:2 Mine enemies would daily swallow [me] up: for [they be]

many that

fight against me, O thou most High.

PS-56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

PS-56:4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my

trust; I will not

fear what flesh can do unto me.

PS-56:5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts [are]

against me for

evil.

PS-56:6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,

they mark my

steps, when they wait for my soul.

PS-56:7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in [thine] anger cast

down the people,

O God.

PS-56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy

bottle: [are

they] not in thy book?

PS-56:9 When I cry [unto thee], then shall mine enemies turn

back: this I

know; for God [is] for me.

PS-56:10 In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I

praise [his]

word.

PS-56:11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what

man can do unto

me.

PS-56:12 Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises

unto thee.

PS-56:13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt] not

[thou deliver]

my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of

the living?
