Psalms 56

DOUAI-RHEIMS	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance from the sanctuary for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar ) when the Philistines held him in Geth.	1 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2 Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.	2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3 My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.	3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4 From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.	4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5 In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me.	5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.	6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7 They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,	7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
8 for nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces, O God,	8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
9 I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.	9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
10 Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.	10 In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.
11 In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech. In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.	11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12 In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:	12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
13 Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.	13 For 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?
