Psalms 56

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 <<To the chief musician: Upon Jonathelemrechokim. Michtam of David when the Philistines took him in Gath.>> Be merciful unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; he, fighting daily, oppresseth me.

2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up, for they are many that fight against me, O Thou Most High.

3 In the time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee.

4 In God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

5 Every day they wrest my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps as they lie in wait for my soul.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In Thine anger cast down the people, O God.

8 Thou countest my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy bottle: are they not in Thy book?

9 When I cry unto Thee, then shall mine enemies turn back! This I know, for God is for me.

10 In God will I praise His word; in the LORD will I praise His word.

11 In God have I put my trust; I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God; I will render praises unto Thee.

13 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death; wilt Thou not deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
