Psalms 56

Prayer for Relief from Tormentors

To the Chief Musician. Set to [a]“The Silent Dove in Distant Lands.” A Michtam of David when the Philistines captured him in Gath.

Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up;
Fighting all day he oppresses me.

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;

My enemies would hound me all day,
For there are many who fight against me, O Most High.

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

Whenever I am afraid,
I will trust in You.

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

In God (I will praise His word),
In God I have put my trust;
I will not fear.
What can flesh do to me?

In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?

All day they twist my words;
All their thoughts are against me for evil.

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

They gather together,
They hide, they mark my steps,
When they lie in wait for my life.

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

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

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

You number my wanderings;
Put my tears into Your bottle;
Are they not in Your book?

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

When I cry out to You,
Then my enemies will turn back;
This I know, because God is for me.

Then my enemies will turn back
in the day when I call.
This I know, thatd God is for me.

In God (I will praise His word),
In the Lord (I will praise His word),

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

In God I have put my trust;
I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God;
I will render praises to You,

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

For You have delivered my soul from death.
Have You not kept my feet from falling,
That I may walk before God
In the light of the living?

For you have delivered my soul from death,
yes, my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.
