Psalms 56

1 For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. [A Psalm] of David: Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long he fighting oppresseth 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 Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long: for they be many that fight proudly against me.

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

3 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.

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

4 In God I will praise his word: in God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto 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 the day long they wrest 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 gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, even as they have waited for my soul.

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, O God.

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

8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle; are they not in thy 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 shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: this I know, 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 will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise [his] word.

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

11 In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; what can man do unto me?

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

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thank offerings unto thee.

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

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [hast thou] not [delivered] 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.
