56:1  To the Overcomer upon: The silent dove in a distant land, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; he oppresses me fighting me daily.
56:2  My enemies would daily swallow me up, for they are many that fight against me, O thou most High.
56:3  When I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
56:4  In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
56:5  Every day my life is filled with sorrow; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
56:6  They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps when they wait for my soul.
56:7  Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the peoples, O God.
56:8  Thou tellest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle; are they not in thy book?
56:9  When I cry unto thee, then shall my enemies be turned back; in this I know that God is for me.
56:10  In God I will praise his word; in the LORD I will praise his word.
56:11  In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid of what man can do unto me.
56:12  Thy promises are upon me, O God; I will render praises unto thee.
56:13  For thou hast delivered my life from death; thou hast kept my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
