Psalm 56
NKJV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New King James VersionInternational Standard Version
1To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Silent Dove in Distant Lands.” A Michtam of David when the Philistines captured him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up; Fighting all day he oppresses me.1Have mercy on me, God, because men have harassed me. Those who oppress me have fought against me all day long.
2My enemies would hound me all day, For there are many who fight against me, O Most High.2Those who watch me all day have harassed me, for there are many who fight against me out of conceit.
3Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.3On days when I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?4In God, whose word I praise, in God I put my trust. I will not fear what mortal man can do to me.
5All day they twist my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.5All day long people distort what I say; all their schemes against me are for evil purposes.
6They gather together, They hide, they mark my steps, When they lie in wait for my life.6They gather together and hide in ambush. They watch my every step as they lie in wait for my life.
7Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God!7Cast them away because of their wickedness. In wrath, God, cast down these people!
8You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book?8You have kept count of my wanderings. Put my tears in your bottle— have not you recorded them in your book?
9When I cry out to You, Then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because God is for me.9My enemies will retreat when I call on you. This has been my experience, because God is with me.
10In God (I will praise His word), In the LORD (I will praise His word),10In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,
11In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?11in God I will put my trust. I will not fear what mortal man can do to me.
12Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God; I will render praises to You,12God, I have taken vows before you; therefore I will offer thanksgiving sacrifices to you.
13For You have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?13For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living!
