For the end, concerning the people that were
removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines
caught him in Geth. 56:1 Have mercy upon me, O Elohim; for man has trodden me
down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.
56:2 Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the
day; for there are many warring against me.
56:3 They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee.
56:4 In Elohim I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in Elohim; I will
not fear what flesh shall do to me.
56:5 All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are]
against me for evil.
56:6 They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps,
accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.
56:7 Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in
wrath.
56:8 O Elohim, I have declared my life to thee; thou has set my tears before
thee, even according to thy promise.
56:9 Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon
thee; behold, I know that thou art my Elohim.
56:10 In Elohim, will I praise [his] word; in Yehovah will I praise [his]
saying.
56:11 I have hoped in Elohim; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.
56:12 The vows of thy praise, O Elohim, which I will pay, are upon me.
56:13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding,
that I should be well-pleasing before Elohim in the land of the living. |
To the chief Musician upon
Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.
56:1 Be merciful unto me, O Elohim: for man would swallow me up; he fighting
daily oppresseth me.
56:2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight
against me, O thou most High.
56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
56:4 In Elohim I will praise his word, in Elohim I have put my trust; I will not
fear what flesh can do unto me.
56:5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for
evil.
56:6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my
steps, when they wait for my soul.
56:7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O
Elohim.
56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they
not in thy book?
56:9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know;
for Elohim is for me.
56:10 In Elohim will I praise his word: in Yehovah will I praise his word.
56:11 In Elohim have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto
me.
56:12 Thy vows are upon me, O Elohim: I will render praises unto thee.
56:13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my
feet from falling, that I may walk before Elohim in the light of the living? |
