Psalm56
Prayer for Deliverance and Confidence in God
For the music director, according to The Silent Dove of Distant Lands.
1Be gracious to me, O God, because humankind has trampled me;fighting all the day he oppresses me.2My enemies trample all day,because many are attacking me proudly.3⸤When⸥ I fear, I trust you.4God, whose word I praise,God I trust; I do not fear.What can mere flesh do to me?5All day they twist my words;all their thoughts are against me for evil.6They attack, they hide, they watch my ⸤steps⸥, as they lie in wait for my life.7Because of iniquity will they escape?In anger cast down the peoples, O God.8You have kept count of my wanderings.Put my tears in your bottle;are they not in your book?9Then my enemies will turn back ⸤when⸥ I call. This I know because God is for me.10God, whose word I praise,Yahweh, whose word I praise,11God I trust; I do not fear.What can mere humankind do to me?12My vows to you, O God, are binding upon me.I will pay thank offerings to you,13because you have delivered my soul from death.Have you not kept my feet from stumbling,that I may walk before Godin the light of the living?Logos Bible Software
