Psalms 56 — KJVA

To the chief Musician upon Jonath-elem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.

56Verse 1Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.^{+
Verse 2}Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.^{+
Verse 3}What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
^{Verse 4}In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
^{Verse 5}Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
^{Verse 6}They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
^{Verse 7}Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.^{Verse 8}Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
^{Verse 9}When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
^{Verse 10}In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.
^{Verse 11}In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
^{Verse 12}Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
^{Verse 13}For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
