Psalms 56

1 Be gracious unto me, OGod; for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he oppresseth me.

1Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

2 Mine enemies would swallow [me] up all the day long; for they are many that fight against me haughtily.

2Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.

3 In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee.

3What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

4 InGod will I praise his word, inGod I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto me?

4In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

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

5Every day 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.

6They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

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

7Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.

8 Thou countest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

8Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou 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, forGod is for me.

9When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

10 InGod will I praise [his] word; in Jehovah will I praise [his] word.

10In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word.

11 InGod have I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

11In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

12 Thy vows are upon me, OGod: I will render thanks unto thee.

12Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death; [wilt thou] not [keep] my feet from falling, that I may walk beforeGod in the light of the living?

13For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
