Psalm 56 |
|
To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of
David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. |
| 1 |
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 be many that
fight against me, O thou most High. |
| 3 |
What 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, when they wait for my soul. |
| 7 |
Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the
people, O God. |
| 8 |
Thou tellest 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 not thou
deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the
light of the living? |
