Psalms, Chapter 56

  
1. Show me favour, O God, For weak man hath panted for me, All the day, a fighter oppresseth me:
  
2. Mine adversaries have panted all the day, For, many, are fighting with me, loftily.
  
3. What day I am afraid, I, unto thee will direct my confidence.
  
4. In God, I wilt praise his cause, -- In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can flesh do unto me?
  
5. All the day, they wrest, my words, Against me, all their devices are for mischief;
  
6. They stir up strife -- they lie hid, They, mark my steps, -- Seeing they have waited for my life.
  
7. Because of iniquity, recompense thou them, -- In anger, bring thou down, the peoples, O God.
  
8. My wandering, hast, thou, recorded, -- Put thou my tears in thy bottle, Are they not in thy record?
  
9. Then, shall my foes turn back, in the day I cry, This, I know, for God is mine!
  
10. In God, will I praise with good cause: In Yahweh, will I praise with good cause;
  
11. In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can a son of earth do unto me!
  
12. Upon me, O God, are thy vows, I will pay back praises unto thee.
  
13. For thou hast rescued my soul from death, Wilt thou not [rescue] my feet from stumbling? That I may walk to and fro, before God, In the light of life.
