56:1 For the music director, according to The Silent Dove of Distant Lands. Of David. A miktam. When the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be gracious to me, O God, because humankind has trampled me; fighting all the day he oppresses me.
56:2 My enemies trample all day, because many are attacking me proudly.
56:4 God, whose word I praise, God I trust; I do not fear. What can mere flesh do to me?
56:5 All day they twist my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
56:6 They attack, they hide, they watch my steps, as they lie in wait for my life.
56:7 Because of iniquity will they escape? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
56:8 You have kept count of my wonderings. Put my tears in your bottle; are they not in your book?
56:9 Then my enemies will turn back when I call. This I know because God is for me.
56:10 God, whose word I praise, Yahweh, whose word I praise,
56:11 God I trust; I do not fear. What can mere humankind do to me?
56:12 My vows to you, O God, are binding upon me. I will pay thank offerings to you,
56:13 because you have delivered my soul from death. Have you not kept my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
