LVI SUPPLICATION FOR DELIVERANCE， AND GRATEFUL TRUST IN GOD
For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath〖That is, The silent dove of them that are afar off.Or, as otherwise read, The dove of the distant terebinths.〗 elem rehokim. A Psalm
of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath.
［1］ BE merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up:
All the day long he fighting oppresseth me.
［2］ Mine〖Or, They that lie in wait for me.〗 enemies would swallow me up all the day long;
For they are many that fight proudly against me.
［3］ What time I am afraid,
I will put my trust in thee.
［4］ In God (I will praise his word),
In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid;
What can flesh do unto me?
［5］ All the day long they wrest my words:
All their thoughts are against me for evil.
［6］ They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,
They mark my steps,
Even〖Or, Inasmuch as.〗 as they have waited for my soul.
［7］ Shall〖Or, They think to escape.〗 they escape by iniquity?
In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
［8］ Thou numberest my wanderings:
Put thou my tears into thy bottle;
Are they not in thy book?〖Or, record.〗
［9］ Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call:
This I know, that〖Or, for.〗 God is for me.
［10］ In God (I will praise his word),
In Jehovah (I will praise his word),
［11］ In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid;
What can man do unto me?
［12］ Thy vows are upon me, O God:
I will render thank-offerings unto thee.
［13］ For thou hast delivered my soul from death:
Hast thou not delivered my feet from falling,
That I may walk before God
In the light of the〖Or, life.〗 living?
