Psalms 56
56
To the Overseer. — ‘On the Dumb Dove far off.’ — A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath.
1Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,
2Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O most High,
3The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.
4In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me.
5All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts [are] for evil,
6They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.
7By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.
8My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou — place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?
9Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.
10In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word.
11In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,
12On me, O God, [are] Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.
13For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!

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.
