  56:1 ¶
[[For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Gath{gr.Geth}.]] Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me. |

56:1 ¶
[[To the chief Musicianºº
uponº
Jonathelemrechokim,º
Michtamº
of David,º
when the Philistinesº
tookºº
him in Gath.]]º
Be mercifulºº
unto me, O Elohim:º
forº
manº
would swallow me up;ºº
he fightingºº
dailyºº
oppressethºº
me. |
|
56:2
Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me. |
56:2
Mine enemiesºº
would dailyºº
swallowºº
[me] up:º
forº
[they be] manyº
that fightºº
against me, O thou most High.º |
|
56:3
They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee. |
56:3
What timeº
I am afraid,ºº
Iº
will trustºº
inº
thee. |
|
56:4
In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me. |
56:4
In Elohimº
I will praiseºº
his word,º
in Elohimº
I have put my trust;ºº
I will notº
fearºº
whatº
fleshº
can doºº
unto me. |
|
56:5
All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil. |
56:5
Everyº
dayº
they wrestºº
my words:º
allº
their thoughtsº
[are] againstº
me for evil.º |
|
56:6
They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul. |
56:6
They gather themselves together,ºº
they hideºººº
themselves, theyº
markºº
my steps,º
whenº
they waitºº
forº
my soul.º |
|
56:7
Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in wrath. |
56:7
Shall theyº
escapeºº
byº
iniquity?º
in [thine] angerº
cast downºº
the people,º
O Elohim.º |
|
56:8
O God, I have declared my life to thee; thou has set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise. |
56:8
Thou tellestºº
my wanderings:º
putºº
thouº
my tearsº
into thy bottle:º
[are they] notº
in thy book?º |
|
56:9
Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon thee; behold, I know that thou art my God. |
56:9
Whenº
I cryºº
[unto thee], thenº
shall mine enemiesºº
turnºº
back:º
thisº
I know;ºº
forº
Elohimº
[is] for me. |
|
56:10
In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying. |
56:10
In Elohimº
will I praiseºº
[his] word:º
in Yahwehº
will I praiseºº
[his] word.º |
|
56:11
I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me. |
56:11
In Elohimº
have I put my trust:ºº
I will notº
be afraidºº
whatº
manº
can doºº
unto me. |
|
56:12
The vows of thy praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me. |
56:12
Thy vowsº
[are] uponº
me, O Elohim:º
I will renderºº
praisesº
unto thee. |
|
56:13
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living. |
56:13
Forº
thou hast deliveredºº
my soulº
from death:ºº
[wilt] notº
[thou deliver] my feetº
from falling,ºº
that I may walkºº
beforeº
Elohimº
in the lightº
of the living?º |
