Psalms, 56

1. For the director. According to Yonath elem rehoqim. A miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him at Gath. 2. Have mercy on me, God, for I am treated harshly; attackers press me all the day. 3. My foes treat me harshly all the day; yes, many are my attackers. O Most High, 4. when I am afraid, in you I place my trust. 5. God, I praise your promise; in you I trust, I do not fear. What can mere flesh do to me? 6. All the day they foil my plans; their every thought is of evil against me. 7. They hide together in ambush; they watch my every step; they lie in wait for my life. 8. They are evil; watch them, God! Cast the nations down in your anger! 9. My wanderings you have noted; are my tears not stored in your vial, recorded in your book? 10. My foes turn back when I call on you. This I know: God is on my side. 11. God, I praise your promise; 12. in you I trust, I do not fear. What can mere mortals do to me? 13. I have made vows to you, God; with offerings I will fulfill them, 14. Once you have snatched me from death, kept my feet from stumbling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living.
