NASB Bible

Psalms 56

For the choir director; according to  aJonath elem rehokim. A  bMikhtam of David,  cwhen the Philistines seized him in Gath.

1

Be gracious to me, O God, for man has  1 atrampled upon me;  2Fighting all day long he  boppresses me.

2

My foes have  1 atrampled upon me all day long, For  2they are many who  bfight proudly against me.

3

 1When I am  aafraid,  2I will  bput my trust in You.

4

 aIn God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid.  bWhat can mere  1man do to me?

5

All day long they  1 adistort my words; All their  2 bthoughts are against me for evil.

6

They  1 aattack, they lurk, They  bwatch my  2steps, As they have  cwaited to take my  3life.

7

Because of wickedness,  1 acast them forth, In anger  bput down the peoples, O God!

8

You  ahave taken account of my wanderings; Put my  btears in Your bottle. Are they not in  cYour book?

9

Then my enemies will  aturn back  bin the day when I call; This I know,  1that  cGod is for me.

10

In God, whose word I praise, In the LORD, whose word I praise,

11

In God I have put my  1trust, I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12

Your  avows are binding upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.

13

For You have  adelivered my soul from death,  1Indeed  bmy feet from stumbling, So that I may  cwalk before God In the  dlight of the  2living.
