PSALM 56

Pleading for Help and Grateful Trust in God.

For the music director; according to [fn]Jonath elem rehokim. A [fn]Mikhtam of David, [fn]when the Philistines seized him in Gath.

1 Be gracious to me, God, for a man has [fn]trampled upon me;

[fn]Fighting all day long he oppresses me.

2 My enemies have trampled upon me all day long,

For [fn]they are many who fight proudly against me.

3 [fn]When I am afraid,

[fn]I will put my trust in You.

4 In God, whose word I praise,

In God I have put my trust;

I shall not be afraid.

What can mere [fn]mortals do to me?

5 All day long they distort my words;

All their [fn]thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They [fn]attack, they lurk,

They watch my [fn]steps,

As they have waited to take my [fn]life.

7 Because of their wickedness, will there be an escape for them?

In anger make the peoples fall down, God!

8 You have taken account of my [fn]miseries;

Put my tears in Your bottle.

Are they not in Your book?

9 Then my enemies will turn back on the day when I call;

This I know, [fn]that God is for me.

10 In God, whose word I praise,

In the LORD, whose word I praise,

11 In God I have put my [fn]trust, I shall not be afraid.

What can mankind do to me?

12 Your vows are binding upon me, God;

I will render thanksgiving offerings to You.

13 For You have saved my soul from death,

[fn]Indeed my feet from stumbling,

So that I may walk before God

In the light of the [fn]living.
