Psalms 56

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 [For the choirmaster Tune: 'The oppression of distant princes' Of David In a quiet voice When thePhilistines seized him in Gath] Take pity on me, God, as they harry me, pressing their attacks home all day.	1 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2 Those who harry me lie in wait for me al day, countless are those who attack me from the heights.	2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you,	3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4 in God, whose word I praise, in God I put my trust and have no fear, what power has human strengthover me?	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 Al day long they carp at my words, their only thought is to harm me,	5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 they gather together, lie in wait and spy on my movements, as though determined to take my life.	6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7 Because of this crime reject them, in your anger, God, strike down the nations.	7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
8 You yourself have counted up my sorrows, col ect my tears in your wineskin.	8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
9 Then my enemies wil turn back on the day when I cal . This I know, that God is on my side.	9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
10 In God whose word I praise, in Yahweh whose word I praise,	10 In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.
11 in God I put my trust and have no fear; what can mortal man do to me?	11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12 I am bound by the vows I have made, God, I will pay you the debt of thanks,	12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
13 for you have saved my life from death to walk in the presence 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?
