Psalms 56

56[For the choir director: A psalm of David, regarding the time the Philistines seized him in Gath. To be sung to the tune “Dove on Distant Oaks.”] O God, have mercy on me, for people are hounding me. My foes attack me all day long.H5329H3128H4387H1732H6430H270H1661H2603H430H582H7602H3898H3117H39052I am constantly hounded by those who slander me, and many are boldly attacking me.H8324H3117H7602H7227H3898H47913But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.H3117H3372H9824I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?H430H1984H1697H430H982H3372H1320H62135They are always twisting what I say; they spend their days plotting to harm me.H3117H6087H1697H4284H74516They come together to spy on me—watching my every step, eager to kill me.H1481H6845H6845H8104H6119H6960H53157Don’t let them get away with their wickedness; in your anger, O God, bring them down.H6405H205H639H3381H5971H4308You keep track of all my sorrowsc. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.H5608H5112H7760H1832H4997H56129My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help. This I know: God is on my side!H3117H7121H341H7725H268H3045H43010I praise God for what he has promised; Yes, I praise the Lord for what he has promised.H430H1984H1697H3068H1984H169711I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?H430H982H3372H120H621312I will fulfill my vows to you, O God, and will offer a sacrifice of thanks for your help.H5088H430H7999H842613For you have rescued me from death; you have kept my feet from slipping. So now I can walk in your presence, O God, in your life-giving light.H5337H5315H4194H7272H1762H1980H6440H430H216H2416
