56:1  For the choir director. According to Jonath Elem Rehokim. A Mikhtam of David. When the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled upon me; All day long, an attacker oppresses me.
56:2  My foes have trampled upon me all day long, For many attack me proudly.
56:3  When I am afraid, I will trust in You.
56:4  In God, whose word I praise, In God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me?
56:5  All day long they distort my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.
56:6  They attack, they lurk, They watch my heels, As they have hoped to take my life.
56:7  On account of their wickedness, will they have an escape? In anger, bring down the peoples, O God!
56:8  You have taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book?
56:9  Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call; This I know, that God is for me.
56:10  In God, whose word I praise, In Yahweh, whose word I praise,
56:11  In God I trust, I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?
56:12  Your vows are binding upon me, O God; I will fulfill thank offerings to You.
56:13  For You have delivered my soul from death, Indeed my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of the living.
