Psalm 56:1-13

Psalms

(Of the Director; to “Dove of Far-Off Oaks”; of David’s, a mictam when the Philistines took him in Gath.)

56 Show me grace, God, because man is snapping his jaws at me;

all day a battler is crowding me back.

2 My ill-wishers are snapping their jaws all day

because many are battling me bitterly.

3 On the day that I am afraid I will put confidence in you,

4 in God I will praise his word.

In God I rest confident; I will not be afraid;

what shall mortals do to me?

5 All day they talk torment,

their thoughts are about me for harm;

6 They start quarrels, hide traps,

watch my heels as they hope to get my life.

7 Because of their villainy there is no escape for them;

in anger bring down peoples, God.

8 You have counted my writhings;

my tears are placed in your bag.

9 Then, on the day when I call, my enemies will turn backward again;

this I know, that I have a God.

10 In God I will praise his word;

in Jehovah I will praise his word.

11 In God I rest confident; I will not be afraid;

what shall man do to me?

12 I owe you what I have vowed, God;

I will pay you thank-offerings,

13 Because you have delivered my soul from death,

to walk before God in the light of the living.
