Psalms Chapter – 56 – World English Bible

Psalms Chapters (English Bible : World English Bible with Deuterocanon – WEB)

1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Silent Dove in Distant Lands.” A poem by David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

2 My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.

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

4 In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

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

6 They conspire and lurk, watching my steps. They are eager to take my life.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.

8 You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?

9 Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that God is for me.

10 In God, I will praise his word. In Yahweh, I will praise his word.

11 I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12 Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.

13 For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
