Psalm 56

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. Set to "The Silent Dove in the Distance." By David; a mikhtam, when the P'lishtim captured him in Gat: Show me favor, God; for people are trampling me down -all day they fight and press on me.

2 Those who are lying in wait for me would trample on me all day. For those fighting against me are many. Most High,

3 when I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

4 In God - I praise his word -in God I trust; I have no fear; what can human power do to me?

5 All day long they twist my words; their only thought is to harm me.

6 They gather together and hide themselves, spying on my movements, hoping to kill me.

7 Because of their crime, they cannot escape; in anger, God, strike down the peoples.

8 You have kept count of my wanderings; store my tears in your water-skin -aren't they already recorded in your book?

9 Then my enemies will turn back on the day when I call; this I know: that God is for me.

10 In God - I praise his word -in ADONAI - I praise his word -

11 in God I trust; I have no fear; what can mere humans do to me?

12 God, I have made vows to you; I will fulfill them with thank offerings to you.

13 For you rescued me from death, you kept my feet from stumbling, so that I can walk in God's presence, in the light of life.

The Message Bible MSG

1 Take my side, God - I'm getting kicked around, stomped on every day.

2 Not a day goes by but somebody beats me up; They make it their duty to beat me up.

3 When I get really afraid I come to you in trust.

4 I'm proud to praise God; fearless now, I trust in God. What can mere mortals do?

5 They don't let up - they smear my reputation and huddle to plot my collapse.

6 They gang up, sneak together through the alleys To take me by surprise, wait their chance to get me.

7 Pay them back in evil! Get angry, God! Down with these people!

8 You've kept track of my every toss and turn through the sleepless nights, Each tear entered in your ledger, each ache written in your book.

9 If my enemies run away, turn tail when I yell at them, Then I'll know that God is on my side.

10 I'm proud to praise God, proud to praise God.

11 Fearless now, I trust in God; what can mere mortals do to me?

12 God, you did everything you promised, and I'm thanking you with all my heart.

13 You pulled me from the brink of death, my feet from the cliff-edge of doom. Now I stroll at leisure with God in the sunlit fields of life.
