Psalms 56

1 God, be merciful to me because men have harassed me; all day my enemies pursue 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 harass me all day long; there are many of them who proudly attack me.

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

3 But whenever I am afraid, I trust in you.

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

4 God, I praise/thank you because you do what you have promised; I trust in you, and then I am not afraid. Ordinary humans certainly cannot [RHQ] harm 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 my enemies claim that I said things that I did not say (OR, try to destroy what I am doing); they are always thinking of ways to harm me.

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

6 In order to cause trouble for me, they hide and watch everything that I do, waiting for [an opportunity] to kill me [MTY].

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

7 So, God, punish them for the wicked things that they are doing; show that you are angry by defeating those people!

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

8 You have counted [all] the times that I have been wandering alone/distressed; [it is as though] you have put [all] my tears in a bottle [in order that you can see how much I have cried]. [You have counted my tears and written] the number 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 When I call out to you, [my] God, my enemies will be defeated; I know that will happen, because you are fighting 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 I praise/thank you that you do what you have promised; Yahweh, I [will always] praise you for that [DOU].

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

11 I trust in you, and as a result, I will not be afraid. I know that humans cannot really [RHQ] harm me!

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

12 I will bring to you the offering that I promised; I will bring an offering to you to thank you,

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

13 because you have rescued me from being killed; you have kept me from stumbling. As a result, I will continue to live in your presence in the light that [shines on those who are still] alive (OR, in the light that [enables people to] live).

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