Psalms 56

New American Bible	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
¹ For the director. According to Yonath elem rehoqim. A miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him at Gath.	¹ To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be gracious to me, O God, for men trample upon me; all day long foemen oppress me;
² Have mercy on me, God, for I am treated harshly; attackers press me all the day.	² my enemies trample upon me all day long, for many fight against me proudly.
³ My foes treat me harshly all the day; yes, many are my attackers. O Most High,	³ When I am afraid, I put my trust in thee.
⁴ when I am afraid, in you I place my trust.	⁴ In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust without a fear. What can flesh do to me?
⁵ God, I praise your promise; in you I trust, I do not fear. What can mere flesh do to me?	⁵ All day long they seek to injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
⁶ All the day they foil my plans; their every thought is of evil against me.	⁶ They band themselves together, they lurk, they watch my steps. As they have waited for my life,
⁷ They hide together in ambush; they watch my every step; they lie in wait for my life.	⁷ so recompense them for their crime; in wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
⁸ They are evil; watch them, God! Cast the nations down in your anger!	⁸ Thou hast kept count of my tossings; put thou my tears in thy bottle! Are they not in thy book?
⁹ My wanderings you have noted; are my tears not stored in your vial, recorded in your book?	⁹ Then my enemies will be turned back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me.
¹⁰ My foes turn back when I call on you. This I know: God is on my side.	¹⁰ In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,
¹¹ God, I praise your promise;	¹¹ in God I trust without a fear. What can man do to me?
¹² in you I trust, I do not fear. What can mere mortals do to me?	¹² My vows to thee I must perform, O God; I will render thank offerings to thee.
¹³ I have made vows to you, God; with offerings I will fulfill them,	¹³ For thou hast delivered my soul from death, yea, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
¹⁴ Once you have snatched me from death, kept my feet from stumbling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living.
