CHAPTER 56

For the choirmaster.

To the tune of

“A Dove

on Distant

Oaks.”

A Miktam

of David,

when the Philistines

seized

him in Gath.

Be merciful to me,

O God,

for

men

are hounding me;

all

day long

they press

their attack.

My enemies

pursue me

all

day long,

for

many

proudly

assail

me.

When

I am afraid,

I

will trust

in You.

In God,

whose word

I praise,

in God

I trust;

I will not

be afraid.

What

can man

do

to me?

All day long

they twist

my words;

all

their thoughts

are of

my demise.

They conspire,

they lurk,

they

watch

my steps,

while

they wait

to take my life.

In spite of

such sin,

shall they escape?

In Your anger,

O God,

cast down

the nations.

You

have taken account

of my wanderings;

You have put

my tears

in Your bottle.

Are they not

in Your book?

Then

my enemies

will retreat

on the day

I cry for help.

By this

I will know

that

God is

on my side.

In God,

whose word

I praise,

in the LORD,

whose word

I praise,

in God

I trust;

I will not

be afraid.

What

can man

do to me?

Your vows

are upon me,

O God;

I will render

thank offerings

to You.

For

You have delivered

my soul

from death,

and my feet

from stumbling,

that I may walk

before

God

in the light

of life.
