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.

Tehillim 56
56
(For the director. Set to The Silent, Distant Yonah. Of Dovid. A mikhtam — when the Pelishtim seized him in Gat)
1 Chaneini (be merciful) unto me, O Elohim: for enosh (man) tramples upon me; kol hayom they press their attack against me.
2 Mine adversaries kol hayom trample me; for they be rabbim that fight against me, Marom (Most High).
3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee.
4 In Elohim I will praise His Word.#56:4 See Jn 1:1,14 In Elohim I have put my trust; I will not fear what basar can do unto me.
5 Kol hayom they twist my words; all their machsh'vot (thoughts) are against me for rah (evil).
6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they are shomer over my steps, when they wait for my nefesh.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In Thine anger cast down the amim (peoples), O Elohim.
8 Thou hast acted as a sofer, recording my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy wineskin; are they not in Thy Sefer (Book)?
9 On the day when I cry unto Thee, then shall mine oyevim turn back; of this I have da'as; for Elohim is for me.#56:9 Ro 8:31
10 In Elohim will I praise His Word; in Hashem will I praise His Word.#56:10 Jn 1:1; Prov 30:4; Ps 33:6; Prov 8:30
11 In Elohim have I put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can adam do unto me?
12 Thy nederim are upon me, O Elohim; I will render todot (thank offerings) unto Thee.
13 For Thou hast delivered my nefesh from mavet (death). Wilt not Thou deliver my feet from stumblimg, that I may walk before Elohim in the Ohr HaChayyim (the light of the living)?
