Psalms 56

1 Unto the end. For the people who have become far removed from the Sacred. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when the Philistines held him in Gath. Have mercy on me, O God, because man has trampled over me. All day long, he has afflicted me by fighting against me.

For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.

2 My enemies have trampled over me all day long. For those who make war against me are many.

Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.

3 From the height of the day, I will be afraid. But truly, I will hope in you.

They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee.

4 In God, I will praise my words. In God, I have put my trust. I will not fear what flesh can do to me.

In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.

5 All day long, they curse my words. All their intentions are for evil against me.

All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.

6 They will dwell and hide themselves. They will watch my heel, just as they waited for my soul;

They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.

7 because of this, nothing will save them. In your anger, you will crush the people.

Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in wrath.

8 O God, I have announced my life to you. You have placed my tears in your sight, and even in your promise.

O God, I have declared my life to thee; thou has set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise.

9 Then my enemies will be turned back. On whatever day that I call upon you, behold, I know that you are my God.

Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon thee; behold, I know that thou art my God.

10 In God, I will praise the word. In the Lord, I will praise his speech.

In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.

11 In God, I have hoped. I will not fear what man can do to me.

I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.

12 My vows to you, O God, are in me. I will repay them. Praises be to you.

The vows of thy praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.

13 For you have rescued my soul from death and my feet from slipping, so that I may be pleasing in the sight of God, in the light of the living.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
