Psalms 56 — JPSTN

56Verse 1(56-1) For the Leader; upon Jonath-elem-rehokim. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. (56-2) Be gracious unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; all the day he fighting oppresseth me.^{Verse 2}(56-3) They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up all the day; for they are many that fight against me, O Most High,^{Verse 3}(56-4) In the day that I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.^{Verse 4}(56-5) In God — I will praise His word — in God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto me?^{Verse 5}(56-6) All the day they trouble mine affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil.^{Verse 6}(56-7) They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps; according as they have waited for my soul.^{Verse 7}(56-8) Because of iniquity cast them out; in anger bring down the peoples, O God.^{Verse 8}(56-9) Thou has counted my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?^{Verse 9}(56-10) Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call; this I know, that God is for me.^{Verse 10}(56-11) In God — I will praise His word — in the LORD — I will praise His word —^{Verse 11}(56-12) In God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can man do unto me?^{Verse 12}(56-13) Thy vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank-offerings unto Thee.^{Verse 13}(56-14) For thou hast delivered my soul from death; hast Thou not delivered my feet from stumbling? that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
