Psalm 56

In God I Trust, I Shall Not Be Afraid

For the choir director. According to ^{▼▼Or The silent dove of those who are far off, The dove of the distant terebinths}Jonath Elem Rehokim. A ^{▼▼Possibly Epigrammatic Poem, Atonement Psalm}Mikhtam of David. ^{▼▼1 Sam 21:10, 11}When the Philistines seized him in Gath.

1 Be gracious to me, O God, for man has ^{▼▼Or snapped at}trampled upon me;
All day long, an attacker oppresses me.
2 My foes have ^{▼▼Or snapped at}trampled upon me all day long,
For many attack me proudly.
3 ^{▼▼ Lit In the day}When I am afraid,
^{▼▼ Or I am one who puts}I will trust in You.
4 In God, whose word I praise,
In God I trust;
I shall not be afraid.
What can mere ^{▼▼Lit flesh}man do to me?
5 All day long they ^{▼▼Or trouble my affairs}distort my words;
All their ^{▼▼Or purposes}thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They ^{▼▼Or stir up strife}attack, they lurk,
They watch my heels,
As they have hoped to take my ^{▼▼Lit soul}life.
7 On account of their wickedness, will they have an escape?
In anger, bring down the peoples, O God!
8 You have taken account of my wanderings;
Put my tears in Your bottle.
Are they not in Your book?
9 Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call;
This I know, ^{▼▼Or because}that God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise,
In Yahweh, whose word I praise,
11 In God I ^{▼▼Or trust without fear}trust, I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
12 Your vows are binding upon me, O God;
I will ^{▼▼Lit pay}fulfill thank offerings to You.
13 ^{▼▼ Or Have You not delivered}For You have delivered my soul from death,
Indeed my feet from stumbling,
So that I may walk before God
In the light of the ^{▼▼Or life}living.
