56:1 For the choir director. “A Dove on Distant Oaks.”By David. A miktam.When the Philistines had seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for a man pants as he pursues me. All day long an attacker presses against me.
56:2 Those who spy on me pant as they pursue me all day long. Yes, many are attacking me boldly.
56:3 On the day when I am afraid, I will trust in you.
56:4 In God I praise his word. In God I trust. I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?
56:5 All day long they hurt my cause. All their thoughts against me are evil.
56:6 They gather together. They hide. They try to trip me by grabbing my heels while they wait to take my life.
56:7 Because of their wickedness do not let them escape. In your anger bring down the peoples, O God.
56:8 You keep a record of my tossing and turning. Keep my tears in your bottle. Aren’t they all listed in your book?
56:9 Then my enemies will turn back on the day when I call. This is how I will know that God is for me.
56:10 In God I praise a word. In the Lord I praise a word.
56:11 In God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
56:12 My vows to you are binding, O God. I will complete my thank offerings to you,
56:13 because you have delivered my life from death. Have you not delivered my feet from stumbling so I can walk before God in the light of life?
