Psalms 56

1 For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for amemorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down;all the day long he warring has afflicted me.
2 Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; forthere are many warring against me.
3 They shall be afraid, but I will trust in you.
4 In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fearwhat flesh shall do to me.
5 All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devicesare against me for evil.
6 They will dwell near and hidethemselves; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.
7 You will on no account save them; you will bring down the people in wrath.
8 O God, I have declared my life to you; you has set my tears before you, even accordingto your promise.
9 Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon you; behold,I know that you are my God.
10 In God, will I praisehis word; in the Lord will I praisehis saying.
11 I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.
12 The vows of your praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.
13 For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I shouldbe well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
