56:1 For the Music Director. To the melody of “Silent Dove at a Distance.” A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be gracious to me, O God, for man would crush me; all day long he who battles oppresses me.
56:2 All day long my enemies would crush me, for there are many who arrogantly battle against me.
56:3 In the day when I am afraid, I will trust in You.
56:4 In God whose word I praise, in God I have trusted; I will not fear. What can mere flesh do to me?
56:5 Every day they twist my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
56:6 They stir up strife, they lurk, they watch my steps, when they wait for my life.
56:7 Should there be deliverance for them on account of wickedness? In Your anger cast down the peoples, O God.
56:8 You take account of my wandering; put my tears in Your bottle; are they not in Your book?
56:9 In the day I cry to You, then my enemies will turn back; this I know, that God is for me.
56:10 In God whose word I praise, in the Lord whose word I praise,
56:11 in God I trust, I will not fear; what can a man do to me?
56:12 Your vows are on me, O God; I will complete them with thank offerings to You;
56:13 for You have delivered my soul from death, even my feet from stumbling, to walk before God in the light of the living.
