Psalms 56
56
PSALM FIFTY-SIX
To the Chief Musician. “Concerning the silent dove—those far off.” Of David, a secret treasure—when the Philistines took him in Gath.
1Be gracious unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; fighting all the day, he oppresses me. #Psa. 57:1
2Those who lie in wait for me would trample me, for many are those who proudly fight against me. #Psa. 54:5, 57:3
3When I am afraid, I will trust in You.
4In God—I will praise His word—in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me? #Isa. 31:3; Psa. 118:6
5All day long they pervert my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil. #Psa. 59:3
6They stir up strife; they hide themselves; they watch my steps as they wait for my soul. #Psa. 71:10
7Because of iniquity cast them out. In Your anger cast down the people, O God.
8You number my wanderings, O put my tears into Your bottle; are they not in Your book?
9When I cry out to You, then my enemies will be turned back. This I know because God is for me. #Rom. 8:31
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. What can man do to me?
12Your vows are upon me, O God; I will give thank offerings to You,
13For You have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living? #Psa. 116:8; Job 33:30
