56:1 For the choir director; according to yonath elem rechokim; a miktam by David when the Philistines captured him in Gath. Have pity on me, O Elohim, because people are harassing me. All day long warriors oppress me.
56:2 All day long my enemies spy on me. They harass me. There are so many fighting against me.
56:4 I praise the word of Elohim. I trust Elohim. I am not afraid. What can mere flesh and blood do to me?
56:5 All day long my enemies twist my words. Their every thought is an evil plan against me.
56:6 They attack, and then they hide. They watch my every step as they wait to take my life.
56:7 With the wrong they do, can they escape? O Elohim, angrily make the nations fall.
56:8 (You have kept a record of my wanderings. Put my tears in your bottle. They are already in your book.)
56:9 Then my enemies will retreat when I call to you. This I know: Elohim is on my side.
56:10 I praise the word of Elohim. I praise the word of Yahweh.
56:11 I trust Elohim. I am not afraid. What can mortals do to me?
56:12 I am bound by my vows to you, O Elohim. I will keep my vows by offering songs of thanksgiving to you.
56:13 You have rescued me from death. You have kept my feet from stumbling so that I could walk in Elohim’s presence, in the light of life.
