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: All the day long he fighting 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 swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me.

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

3What time I am afraid, I will put my 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 have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?

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

5All the day long 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, Even as they have waited for my soul.

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

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

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

8Thou numberest 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.

9Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: This I know, that God is for me.

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

10In God (I will praise his word), In Jehovah (I will 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 can man 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 thank-offerings 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: Hast thou not delivered my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?
