Psalms 56

In God I Trust

To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A Miktama 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;

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.

my enemies trample on me all day long,
for many attack me proudly.

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

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

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?

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

All day long they injure my cause;b
all their thoughts are against me for evil.

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

They stir up strife, they lurk;
they watch my steps,
as they have waited for my life.

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

For their crime will they escape?
In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!

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

You have kept count of my tossings;c
put my tears in your bottle.
Are they not in your book?

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

Then my enemies will turn back
in the day when I call.
This I know, thatd 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, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,

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?

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

I must perform my vows to you, O God;
I will render thank offerings to you.

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

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