Psalms
Глава 56

₁For the music director; according to Jonath elem rehokim. A Mikhtam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be gracious to me, God, for a man has trampled upon me; Fighting all day long he oppresses me.

₂My enemies have trampled upon me all day long, For they are many who fight proudly against me.

₃When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.

₄In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

₅All day long they distort my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.

₆They attack, they lurk, They watch my steps, As they have waited to take my life.

₇Because of their wickedness, will there be an escape for them? In anger make the peoples fall down, God!

₈You have taken account of my miseries; Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book?

₉Then my enemies will turn back on the day when I call; This I know, that God is for me.

₁₀In God, whose word I praise, In the LORD, whose word I praise,

₁₁In God I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid. What can mankind do to me?

₁₂Your vows are binding upon me, God; I will render thanksgiving offerings to You.

₁₃For You have saved my soul from death, Indeed my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of the living.
