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?
