KJ3 Literal Translation
Psalms 56
David complains of his enemies. To the chief musician. Concerning the silent dove, those far off. Of David, a secret treasure (when the Philistines seized him in Gath).
1To the chief musician. Concerning the silent dove, those far off. Of David, a secret treasure (when the Philistines seized him in Gath). Favor me, for man snuffs me up; all the day fighting oppresses me, O Most High.
2My watchers panted for me all the day; for many are proudly fighting against me.
3The day I am afraid I will trust in You.
4In God I will praise His Word; in God I have trusted; I will not fear; what will flesh do to me?
5All the day they pervert my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6They stir up strife; they hide; they observe my footprints as they wait for my soul.
7By iniquity escape is for them. In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
8You have counted my wanderings; You; put my tear in Your wineskin; are they not in Your Book?
9Then my enemies will turn back in the day I call; this I know, for God is for me.
10In God I will praise the Word; in Jehovah I will praise the Word.
11In God I have trusted; I will not fear; what will man do to me?
12On me, O God, are Your vows; I will render to You thank offerings.
13For You have delivered my soul from death. Are You not keeping my feet from falling, to walk before God in the light of the living?
