Psalms 56

PSALM 56.
1Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into the cave#1 Kings 24..
2Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me: for my soul trusteth in thee. And in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until iniquity pass away.
3I will cry to God the most High; to God who hath done good to me.
4He hath sent from heaven and delivered me: he hath made them a reproach that trod upon me. God hath sent his mercy and his truth,
5and he hath delivered my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men, whose teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
6Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.
7They prepared a snare for my feet; and they bowed down my soul. They dug a pit before my face, and they are fallen into it.
8My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will Sing, and rehearse a psalm.
9Arise, O my glory, arise psaltery and harp: I will arise early.
10I will give praise to thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing a psalm to thee among the nations.
11For thy mercy is magnified even to the heavens: and thy truth unto the clouds.
12Be thou exalted, O God, above the I heavens: and thy glory above all the earth.

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.
