Psalm 56--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--my enemies trample on me all day long,- for many attack me proudly.-When I am afraid,- I put my trust in you.-In God, whose word I praise,- in God I trust- I shall not be afraid.- What can flesh do to me--All day long they injure my cause-- all their thoughts are against me for evil.-They stir up strife, they lurk-- they watch my steps,- as they have waited for my life.-For their crime will they escape-- In wrath cast down the peoples, O God--You have kept count of my tossings-- put my tears in your bottle.- Are they not in your book--Then my enemies will turn back- in the day when I call.- This I know, that God is for me.-In God, whose word I praise,- in the Lord, whose word I praise,-in God I trust- I shall not be afraid.- What can man do to me--I must perform my vows to you, O God-- I will render thank offerings to you.-For you have delivered my soul from death,- yes, my feet from falling,-that I may walk before God- in the light of life.
