Psalm 56
To the Overcomer upon: The silent dove in a distant land, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.
1¶ Be merciful unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; he oppresses me fighting me daily.
2My enemies would daily swallow me up, for they are many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3When I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5Every day my life is filled with sorrow; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps when they wait for my soul.
7Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the peoples, O God.
8¶ Thou tellest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle; are they not in thy book?
9When I cry unto thee, then shall my enemies be turned back; in this I know that God is for me.
10In God I will praise his word; in the Lord I will praise his word.
11In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid of what man can do unto me.
12Thy promises are upon me, O God; I will render praises unto thee.
13For thou hast delivered my life from death; thou hast kept my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

Psalm 56
56
1 Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into a cave.
2 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me. For my soul trusts in you. And I will hope in the shadow of your wings, until iniquity passes away.
3 I will cry out to God Most High, to God who has been kind to me.
4 He sent from heaven and freed me. He has surrendered into disgrace those who trampled me. God has sent his mercy and his truth.
5 And he has rescued my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men: their teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue is a sharp sword.
6 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and your glory above all the earth.
7 They prepared a snare for my feet, and they bowed down my soul. They dug a pit before my face, yet they have fallen into it.
8 My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. I will sing, and I will compose a psalm.
9 Rise up, my glory. Rise up, psaltery and harp. I will arise in early morning.
10 I will confess to you, O Lord, among the peoples. I will compose a psalm to you among the nations.
11 For your mercy has been magnified, even to the heavens, and your truth, even to the clouds.
12 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and your glory above all the earth.
