Psalm 56 - To the chief Musician upon
Jonath-elem-rechokim, Michtam of David,
when the Philistines took him in Gath.
Be merciful unto me, O God:
for man would swallow me up; he
fighting daily oppresseth me.
Mine enemies would daily swallow
me up: for they be many that fight
against me, O thou most High.
What time I am afraid,
I will trust in thee.
In God I will praise his word, in
God I have put my trust; I will
not fear what flesh can do unto me.
they wrest my words: all their
thoughts are against me for evil.
They gather themselves together,
they hide themselves, they mark my
steps, when they wait for my soul.
Shall they escape by iniquity?
in thine anger cast down the people,
O God.
Thou tellest my wanderings: put
thou my tears into thy bottle:
are they not in thy book?
When I cry unto thee, then
shall mine enemies turn back:
this I know; for God is for me.
In God will I praise his word: in
the Lord will I praise his word.
In God have I put my trust: I will
not be afraid what man can do unto me.
Thy vows are upon me, O God: I
will render praises unto thee.
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?
Psalm 57 - To the chief Musician,
Altaschith, Michtam of David, when
he fled from Saul in the cave.
Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful
unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee:
I will cry unto God most high; unto
God that performeth all things for me.
He shall send from heaven, and
save me from the reproach of
him that would swallow me up.
Selah.
God shall send forth
his mercy and his truth.
My soul is among lions: and I lie even
among them that are set on fire, even the
sons of men, whose teeth are spears and
arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let thy glory be above all the earth.
They have prepared a net for my steps;
my soul is bowed down: they have
digged a pit before me, into the midst
whereof they are fallen themselves.
Selah.
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is
fixed: I will sing and give praise.
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery
and harp: I myself will awake early.
I will praise thee, O Lord,
among the people: I will sing
unto thee among the nations.
For thy mercy is great unto the
heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens:
let thy glory be above all the earth.
Psalm 58 - To the chief Musician,
Al-taschith, Michtam of David.
Do ye indeed speak
righteousness, O congregation?
do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh
the violence of your hands in the earth.
The wicked are estranged from
the womb: they go astray as soon
as they be born, speaking lies.
Their poison is like the poison
of a serpent: they are like the
deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
Which will not hearken to the voice
of charmers, charming never so wisely.
Break their teeth, O God, in
their mouth: break out the great
teeth of the young lions, O Lord.
Let them melt away as waters which
run continually: when he bendeth
his bow to shoot his arrows,
let them be as cut in pieces.
As a snail which melteth, let every one
of them pass away: like the untimely birth
of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
Before your pots can feel the thorns,
he shall take them away as with a
whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
The righteous shall rejoice when he
seeth the vengeance: he shall wash
his feet in the blood of the wicked.
So that a man shall say, Verily there
is a reward for the righteous: verily
he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
Psalm 59 - To the chief Musician,
Al-taschith, Michtam of David;
when Saul sent, and they
watched the house to kill him.
Deliver me from mine enemies,
O my God: defend me from
them that rise up against me.
Deliver me from the workers of
iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the
mighty are gathered against me; not for
my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.
They run and prepare
themselves without my fault:
awake to help me, and behold.
Thou therefore, O Lord God of hosts,
the God of Israel, awake to visit
all the heathen: be not merciful
to any wicked transgressors.
Selah.
They return at evening: they make a noise
like a dog, and go round about the city.
Behold, they belch out with their
mouth: swords are in their lips:
for who, say they, doth hear?
But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh
at them; thou shalt have
all the heathen in derision.
Because of his strength will I wait
upon thee: for God is my defence.
The God of my mercy shall
prevent me: God shall let me
see my desire upon mine enemies.
Slay them not, lest my people forget:
scatter them by thy power; and
bring them down, O Lord our shield.
For the sin of their mouth and the
words of their lips let them even
be taken in their pride: and for
cursing and lying which they speak.
Consume them in wrath, consume
them, that they may not be: and
let them know that God ruleth in
Jacob unto the ends of the earth.
Selah.
And at evening let them return;
and let them make a noise like a
dog, and go round about the city.
Let them wander up and down for meat,
and grudge if they be not satisfied.
But I will sing of thy power; yea, I
will sing aloud of thy mercy in the
morning: for thou hast been my defence
and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Unto thee, O my strength, will
I sing: for God is my defence,
and the God of my mercy.
Psalm 60 - To the chief Musician
upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of
David, to teach; when he strove with
Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah,
when Joab returned, and smote of Edom
in the valley of salt twelve thousand.
O God, thou hast cast us off, thou
hast scattered us, thou hast been
displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
Thou hast made the earth to tremble;
thou hast broken it: heal the
breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
Thou hast shewed thy people hard things:
made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
Thou hast given a banner to them
that fear thee, that it may be
displayed because of the truth.
Selah.
That thy beloved may be delivered;
save with thy right hand, and hear me.
God hath spoken in his holiness; I
will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,
and mete out the valley of Succoth.
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is
mine; Ephraim also is the strength
of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will
I cast out my shoe: Philistia,
triumph thou because of me.
Who will bring me into the strong city?
who will lead me into Edom?
Wilt not thou, O God,
which hadst cast us off?
and thou, O God, which didst
not go out with our armies?
Give us help from trouble:
for vain is the help of man.
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he
it is that shall tread down our enemies.
