Psalms 56

Psalms 56
1  [For the leader. Set to "The Silent Dove in the Distance." By David; a mikhtam, when the P'lishtim captured him in Gat:] Show me favor, God; for people are trampling me down - all day they fight and press on me.
:2  Those who are lying in wait for me would trample on me all day. For those fighting against me are many. Most High,
3  when I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4  In God - I praise his word - in God I trust; I have no fear; what can human power do to me?
5  All day long they twist my words; their only thought is to harm me.
6  They gather together and hide themselves, spying on my movements, hoping to kill me.
7  Because of their crime, they cannot escape; in anger, God, strike down the peoples.
8  You have kept count of my wanderings; store my tears in your water-skin - aren't they already recorded in your book?
9  Then my enemies will turn back on the day when I call; this I know: that God is for me.
10  In God - I praise his word - in Adonai - I praise his word -
11  in God I trust; I have no fear; what can mere humans do to me?
12  God, I have made vows to you; I will fulfill them with thank offerings to you.
13  For you rescued me from death, you kept my feet from stumbling, so that I can walk in God's presence, in the light of life.
