56:1  (For the music leader. To the tune “A Silent Dove in the Distance.” A special psalm by David when the Philistines captured him in Gath.) Have pity, God Most High! My enemies chase me all day.
56:2  Many of them are pursuing and attacking me,
56:3  but even when I am afraid, I keep on trusting you.
56:4  I praise your promises! I trust you and am not afraid. No one can harm me.
56:5  Enemies spend the whole day finding fault with me; all they think about is how to do me harm.
56:6  They attack from ambush, watching my every step and hoping to kill me.
56:7  They won't get away with these crimes, God, because when you get angry, you destroy people.
56:8  You have kept record of my days of wandering. You have stored my tears in your bottle and counted each of them.
56:9  When I pray, Lord God, my enemies will retreat, because I know for certain that you are with me.
56:10  I praise your promises!
56:11  I trust you and am not afraid. No one can harm me.
56:12  I will keep my promises to you, my God, and bring you gifts.
56:13  You protected me from death and kept me from stumbling, so that I would please you and follow the light that leads to life.
