Psalms 55 — UBES

55Verse 1For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Gath.^{Verse 2}Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down;
All the day long he warring has afflicted me.
^{Verse 3}Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day;
For there are many warring against me.^{Verse 4}They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee.
^{Verse 5}In God I will praise my words;
All the day have I hoped in God;
I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.^{Verse 6}All the day long they have abominated my words;
All their devices are against me for evil.
^{Verse 7}They will dwell near and hide themselves;
They will watch my steps,
Accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.
^{Verse 8}Thou wilt on no account save them;
Thou wilt bring down the people in wrath.
^{Verse 9}O God, I have declared my life to thee;
Thou hast set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise.^{Verse 10}Mine enemies shall be turned back,
In the day wherein I shall call upon thee;
Behold, I know that thou art my God.
^{Verse 11}In God will I praise his word;
In the Lord will I praise his saying.
^{Verse 12}I have hoped in God;
I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.
^{Verse 13}The vows of thy praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.
^{Verse 14}For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
And my feet from sliding,
That I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
