Psalms - Chapter 56

¹ [For the choirmaster Tune: 'The oppression of distant princes' Of David In a quiet voice When the Philistines seized him in Gath] Take pity on me, God, as they harry me, pressing their attacks home all day.

² Those who harry me lie in wait for me all day, countless are those who attack me from the heights.

³ When I am afraid, I put my trust in you,

⁴ in God, whose word I praise, in God I put my trust and have no fear, what power has human strength over me?

⁵ All day long they carp at my words, their only thought is to harm me,

⁶ they gather together, lie in wait and spy on my movements, as though determined to take my life.

⁷ Because of this crime reject them, in your anger, God, strike down the nations.

⁸ You yourself have counted up my sorrows, collect my tears in your wineskin.

⁹ Then my enemies will turn back on the day when I call. This I know, that God is on my side.

¹⁰ In God whose word I praise, in Yahweh whose word I praise,

¹¹ in God I put my trust and have no fear; what can mortal man do to me?

¹² I am bound by the vows I have made, God, I will pay you the debt of thanks,

¹³ for you have saved my life from death to walk in the presence of God, in the light of the living.
