Psalms 56

Be Merciful to Me, God

{To the chief Musician. On Jonathelem-rechokim. Of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath.} Be gracious unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he oppresseth me.

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.

Be merciful to me, my God,
for my enemies are in hot pursuit;
all day long they press their attack.

Mine enemies would swallow [me] up all the day long; for they are many that fight against me haughtily.

My adversaries pursue me all day long;
in their pride many are attacking me.

In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee.

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

In God will I praise his word, in God I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto me?

In God, whose word I praise —
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?

All the day long they wrest my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

All day long they twist my words;
all their schemes are for my ruin.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves; they mark my steps, because they wait for my soul.

They conspire, they lurk,
they watch my steps,
hoping to take my life.

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

Because of their wickedness do notc let them escape;
in your anger, God, bring the nations down.

*Thou* countest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

Record my misery;
list my tears on your scrolld —
are they not in your record?

Then shall mine enemies return backward in the day when I call: this I know, for God is for me.

Then my enemies will turn back
when I call for help.
By this I will know that God is for me.

In God will I praise [his] word; in Jehovah will I praise [his] word.

In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise —

In God have I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can man do to me?

Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thanks unto thee.

I am under vows to you, my God;
I will present my thank offerings to you.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death; [wilt thou] not [keep] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

For you have delivered me from death
and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.
