Psalms 56

1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Silent Dove in Distant Lands.” A poem by David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

To the choirmaster - on yonath-elem-rechokim of David a miktam when seized him [the] Philistines in Gath. Show favor to me O God for he has crushed me man all the day [one who] fights he oppresses me.

2 My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.

They have crushed [me] enemies my all the day for many [people] [are] fighting to me height.

3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

A day [when] I will fear I to you I will trust.

4 In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

In God I will praise word his in God I have trusted not I am afraid what? will it do flesh to me.

5 All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

All the day words my they twist [are] on me all plans their for evil.

6 They conspire and lurk, watching my steps. They are eager to take my life.

They stir up trouble - (they lie hidden *Qk) they heels my they watch for just as they have waited for life my.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.

Because of wickedness (not *X) deliver them in anger peoples - bring down O God.

8 You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Are not they in your book?

Wandering my you have taken account of you put! tear[s] my in skin-bottle your ¿ not [is it] in scroll your.

9 Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that God is for me.

Then they will turn back enemies my backwards on [the] day [when] I will call out this I know that God [is] for me.

10 In God, I will praise his word. In the LORD, I will praise his word.

In God I will praise a word in Yahweh I will praise a word.

11 I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

In God I have trusted not I am afraid what? will he do anyone to me.

12 Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.

[are] on Me O God vows your I will pay thank-offerings to you.

13 For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

For you have delivered life my from death ¿ not feet my from stumbling to go about before God in [the] light of life.
