094) Psalm 56
Psalm 56 To the chief musician upon Jonath-elem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.
6.6.8.6
1 LORD, pity me, because man would up swallow me: and fighting all the day throughout, oppress me sore doth he.
2 Mine enemies they would me swallow up daily; for they be many that do fight against me, o most high.
3 I’ll put my trust in thee, what time I am afraid.
4 In God I’ll praise his word, in God my confidence have stay’d;
I will not be afraid what flesh can do to me.
5 All day they wrest my words: their thoughts for ill against me be.
6 They join themselves together; themselves they closely hide; they mark my steps when for my soul waiting they do abide.
7 Shall they make an escape by their iniquity; thou in thine anger down depress the folk, o God mighty.
8 My wanderings thou dost tell, put thou my weeping tears into thy bottle; are they not within thy registers.
9 Then shall my foes turn back, when I cry unto thee: this I do know assuredly, because God is for me.
10 In God I’ll praise his word: the Lords word I will praise.
11 In God I trust: I will not fear what man ‘gainst me can raise.
12 Thy vows on me o God;
13 Because that thou my soul from death delivering dost free;
Deliver wilt not thou my feet from down falling? so that I may walk before God i’th light of the living.
