Psalm 56 (TRV)
From Textus Receptus
- 0 To the chief musician upon Jonath Elem Rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.
- 1 Be merciful to me, O God, because man would swallow me up; he oppresses me, fighting all day.
- 2 My enemies would swallow me up daily,
because there are many who fight against me, O You, Most High.
- 3 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.
- 4 In God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust;
I will not fear what flesh can do to me.
- 5 Every day they twist my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
- 6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they my mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
- 7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In Your anger cast down the people, O God.
- 8 You count my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle; are they not in Your book?
- 9 When I shout out to You, then my enemies will turn back; this I know, because God is for me.
- 10 In God I will praise His word, In the LORD I will praise His word.
- 11 In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid of what man can do to me.
- 12 Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render praises to You.
- 13 For You have delivered my soul from death. Will you not deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
