Psalms 56 — To the chief Musician upon Jonath-elem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.

¹Be merciful unto me, O Elohim (God): for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresses me.

²My enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O you El Elyon (most High).

³What time I am afraid, I will trust in you.

⁴In Elohim (God) I will praise his word, in Elohim (God) I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

⁵Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.

⁶They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

⁷Shall they escape by iniquity? in your anger cast down the people, O Elohim (God).

⁸You tell my wanderings: put you my tears into your bottle: are they not in your book?

⁹When I cry unto you, then shall my enemies turn back: this I know; for Elohim (God) is for me.

¹⁰In Elohim (God) will I praise his word: in Yahuah (LORD) will I praise his word.

¹¹In Elohim (God) have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

¹²Your vows are upon me, O Elohim (God): I will render praises unto you.

¹³For you have delivered my soul from death: will not you deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before Elohim (God) in the light of the living?
