Chapter 56

1

Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

2

My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, For they are many who fight proudly against me.

3

When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

4

In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

5

All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6

They conspire and lurk, Watching my steps, they are eager to take my life.

7

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.

8

You number my wanderings. You put my tears into your bottle. Aren't they in your book?

9

Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I call. I know this, that God is for me.

10

In God, I will praise his word. In Yahweh, I will praise his word.

11

I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12

Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.

13

For you have delivered my soul from death, And prevented my feet from falling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living. Psalm 57 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of 'Do Not Destroy.' A poem by David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.
