Psalm 56


Listen Later

Psalm 56[a] For the director of music. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” Of David. A miktam.[b] When the Philistines had seized him in Gath.

1 Be merciful to me, my God,     for my enemies are in hot pursuit;     all day long they press their attack. 2 My adversaries pursue me all day long;     in their pride many are attacking me.

3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. 4     In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid.     What can mere mortals do to me?

5 All day long they twist my words;     all their schemes are for my ruin. 6 They conspire, they lurk,     they watch my steps,     hoping to take my life. 7 Because of their wickedness do not[c] let them escape;     in your anger, God, bring the nations down.

8 Record my misery;     list my tears on your scroll[d]—     are they not in your record? 9 Then my enemies will turn back     when I call for help.     By this I will know that God is for me.

10 In God, whose word I praise,     in the Lord, whose word I praise— 11 in God I trust and am not afraid.     What can man do to me?

12 I am under vows to you, my God;     I will present my thank offerings to you. 13 For you have delivered me from death     and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God     in the light of life.
