Psalm 561 Psalm 56 For the director of music. To [the tune of] "A Dove on Distant Oaks." Of David. A miktam. [1] When the Philistines had seized him in Gath.1 Be merciful to me, O God, for men hotly pursue me; all day long they press their attack.2 My slanderers pursue me all day long; many are attacking me in their pride. 3 When I am afraid, I will trust in you.4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? 5 All day long they twist my words; they are always plotting to harm me.6 They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, eager to take my life. 7 On no account let them escape; in your anger, O God, bring down the nations.8 Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll [2] -- are they not in your record? 9 Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise--11 in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? 12 I am under vows to you, O God; I will present my thank offerings to you.13 For you have delivered me [3] from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life. [4]
  1. [Title: Probably a literary or musical term
  2. [8] Or put my tears in your wineskin
  3. [13] Or my soul
  4. [13] Or the land of the living
