Psalms 56 LSV

1. TO THE OVERSEER. SET ON “A SILENT DOVE FAR OFF.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN THE PHILISTINES’ TAKING HOLD OF HIM IN GATH. Favor me, O God, for man swallowed me up, all the day fighting he oppresses me,

2. My enemies have swallowed up all the day, for many are fighting against me, O Most High,

3. In the day I am afraid I am confident toward You.

4. In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, i do not fear what flesh does to me.

5. All the day they wrest my words, all their thoughts are for evil concerning me,

6. They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, when they have expected my soul.

7. They escape by iniquity, in anger put down the peoples, O God.

8. You have counted my wandering, you place my tear in Your bottle, are they not in Your scroll?

9. Then turn back my enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God is for me.

10. In God I praise the word, in YHWH I praise the word.

11. In God I trusted, i do not fear what man does to me,

12. On me, O God, are Your vows, i repay thank-offerings to You.

13. For You have delivered my soul from death, do You not keep my feet from falling? To habitually walk before God in the light of the living!
