Tehillim (Psalms) 56
56
1Show me favour, O Elohim, For man would swallow me up; Fighting all day long, he oppresses me.
2My enemies would swallow me up all day long, For many are fighting against me, O Most High.
3In the day I am afraid, I trust in You.
4In Elohim, whose Word I praise, In Elohim I have trusted; I do not fear; What could flesh do to me?
5All day long they twist my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6They stir up strife, they hide, They watch my steps, As they lie in wait for my life.
7Because of wickedness, cast them out. Put down the peoples in displeasure, O Elohim!
8You have counted my wanderings; You put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book?
9My enemies turn back in the day I call; This I know, because Elohim is for me.
10In Elohim, whose Word I praise, In יהוה, whose Word I praise,
11In Elohim I have trusted; I do not fear; What could man do to me?
12On me, O Elohim, are Your vows; I render praises to You,
13For You have delivered my life from death, My feet from stumbling, That I might walk before Elohim, In the light of the living!

Psalm 56
For the choir director; according to yonath elem rechokim; #56:0 Unknown musical term. a miktam by David when the Philistines captured him in Gath.
1Have pity on me, O God, because people are harassing me.
All day long warriors oppress me.
2All day long my enemies spy on me.
They harass me.
There are so many fighting against me.
3Even when I am afraid, I still trust you.
4I praise God’s word.
I trust God.
I am not afraid.
What can mere flesh ⌞and blood⌟ do to me?
5All day long my enemies twist my words.
Their every thought is an evil plan against me.
6They attack, and then they hide.
They watch my every step as they wait to take my life.
7With the wrong they do, can they escape?
O God, angrily make the nations fall.
8(You have kept a record of my wanderings.
Put my tears in your bottle.
They are already in your book.)
9Then my enemies will retreat when I call ⌞to you⌟.
This I know: God is on my side.
10I praise God’s word.
I praise the Lord’s word.
11I trust God.
I am not afraid.
What can mortals do to me?
12I am bound by my vows to you, O God.
I will keep my vows by offering songs of thanksgiving to you.
13You have rescued me from death.
You have kept my feet from stumbling
so that I could walk in your presence, in the light of life.
