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.

Psalms 56
56
For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. A Psalm of David: Michtam: When the Philistines took him in Gath.
1Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up:
All the day long he fighting oppresseth me.
2Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long:
For they be many that fight proudly against me.
3What time I am afraid,
I will put my trust in thee.
4In God I will praise his word:
In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid;
What can flesh do unto me?
5All the day long they wrest my words:
All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,
They mark my steps,
Even as they have waited for my soul.
7Shall they escape by iniquity?
In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
8Thou tellest my wanderings:
Put thou my tears into thy bottle;
Are they not in thy book?
9Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call:
This I know, that God is for me.
10In God will I praise his word:
In the LORD will I praise his word.
11In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid;
What can man do unto me?
12Thy vows are upon me, O God:
I will render thank offerings unto thee.
13For thou hast delivered my soul from death:
Hast thou not delivered my feet from falling?
That I may walk before God
In the light of the living.
