Psalms 56 — LSV

56Verse 1TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “A SILENT DOVE FAR OFF.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN THE PHILISTINES’ TAKING HOLD OF HIM IN GATH. Favor me, O God, for man swallowed me up, || All the day fighting he oppresses me,^{Verse 2}My enemies have swallowed up all the day, || For many [are] fighting against me, O Most High,^{Verse 3}[In] the day I am afraid I am confident toward You.^{Verse 4}In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, || I do not fear what flesh does to me.^{Verse 5}All the day they wrest my words, || All their thoughts [are] for evil concerning me,^{Verse 6}They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, || When they have expected my soul.^{Verse 7}They escape by iniquity, || In anger put down the peoples, O God.^{Verse 8}You have counted my wandering, || You place my tear in Your bottle, || Are they not in Your scroll?^{Verse 9}Then turn back my enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.^{Verse 10}In God I praise the word, || In YHWH I praise the word.^{Verse 11}In God I trusted, || I do not fear what man does to me,^{Verse 12}On me, O God, [are] Your vows, || I repay thank-offerings to You.^{Verse 13}For You have delivered my soul from death, || Do You not [keep] my feet from falling? To habitually walk before God in the light of the living!
