Psalm 56

To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths.

A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.

¹ Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me;

    all day long an attacker oppresses me;

² my enemies trample on me all day long,

    for many attack me proudly.

³ When I am afraid,

    I put my trust in you.

⁴ In God, whose word I praise,

    in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.

    What can flesh do to me?

⁵ All day long they injure my cause;

    all their thoughts are against me for evil.

⁶ They stir up strife, they lurk;

    they watch my steps,

    as they have waited for my life.

⁷ For their crime will they escape?

    In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!

⁸ You have kept count of my tossings;

    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, that God is for me.

¹⁰ In God, whose word I praise,

    in the Lord, whose word I praise,

¹¹ in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.

    What can man do to me?

¹² I must perform my vows to you, O God;

    I will render thank offerings to you.

¹³ For you have delivered my soul from death,

    yes, my feet from falling,

    that I may walk before God

in the light of life.
