Psalms 56
To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.
1Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.2Mine enemies would daily swallow <add>me</add> up: for <add>they be</add> many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts <add>are</add> against me for evil.
6They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7Shall they escape by iniquity? in <add>thine</add> anger cast down the people, O God.
8Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: <add>are they</add> not in thy book?
9When I cry <add>unto thee</add>, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God <add>is</add> for me.
10In God will I praise <add>his</add> word: in the LORD will I praise <add>his</add> word.
11In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12Thy vows <add>are</add> upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
13For thou hast delivered my soul from death: <add>wilt</add> not <add>thou deliver</add> my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
