56:1 To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be gracious to me, O God, for men trample upon me;all day long foemen oppress me; 56:2 my enemies trample upon me all day long, for many fight against me proudly. 56:3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in thee. 56:4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust without a fear. What can flesh do to me? 56:5 All day long they seek to injure my cause;all their thoughts are against me for evil. 56:6 They band themselves together, they lurk, they watch my steps. As they have waited for my life, 56:7 so recompense them for their crime;in wrath cast down the peoples, O God! 56:8 Thou hast kept count of my tossings;put thou my tears in thy bottle! Are they not in thy book? 56:9 Then my enemies will be turned back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me. 56:10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, 56:11 in God I trust without a fear. What can man do to me? 56:12 My vows to thee I must perform, O God;I will render thank offerings to thee. 56:13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, yea, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life. 56:14
