Psalms 56

1 David, praying to God in confidence of his Word, complaineth of his enemies. 9 He professeth his confidence in God's Word, and promiseth to praise him.

 56:1 ¶ [[To the Chief Musician. Upon "The Dove of God from the distant Sea." David's. A precious Psalm. When the Philistines seized him in Gath.]] Show me favour, O God, For weak man hath panted for me, All the day, a fighter oppresseth me:

 56:2 Mine adversaries have panted all the day, For, many, are fighting with me, loftily.

 56:3 What day I am afraid, I, unto thee will direct my confidence.

 56:4 In God, I will praise his cause,—In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can flesh do unto me?

 56:5 All the day, they wrest, my words, Against me, all their devices are for mischief;

 56:6 They stir up strife—they lie hid, They, mark my steps,—Seeing they have waited for my life.

 56:7 Because of iniquity, recompense thou them,—In anger, bring thou down, the peoples, O God.

 56:8 ¶ My wandering, hast, thou, recorded,—Put thou my tears in thy bottle, Are they not in thy record?

 56:9 Then, shall my foes turn back, in the day I cry, This, I know, for God is mine!

 56:10 In God, will I praise with good cause: In Yahweh, will I praise with good cause;

 56:11 In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can a son of earth do unto me!

 56:12 Upon me, O God, are thy vows, I will pay back praises unto thee.

 56:13 For thou hast rescued my soul from death, Wilt thou not [rescue] my feet from stumbling? That I may walk to and fro, before God, In the light of life.
