Darby Translation
Psalms • Chapter 56
1
{To the chief Musician. On Jonathelem-rechokim. Of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath.} Be gracious unto me, O God (Elohim); for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he oppresseth me.
2
Mine enemies would swallow [me] up all the day long; for they are many that fight against me haughtily.
3
In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee.
4
In God (Elohim) will I praise his word, in God (Elohim) I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto me?
5
All the day long they wrest my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves; they mark my steps, because they wait for my soul.
7
Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God (Elohim).
8
*Thou* countest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
9
Then shall mine enemies return backward in the day when I call: this I know, for God (Elohim) is for me.
10
In God (Elohim) will I praise [his] word; in Jehovah will I praise [his] word.
11
In God (Elohim) have I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can man do unto me?
12
Thy vows are upon me, O God (Elohim): I will render thanks unto thee.
13
For thou hast delivered my soul from death; [wilt thou] not [keep] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God (Elohim) in the light of the living?
