Psalm 56
BSB Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Berean Study BibleInternational Standard Version
1For the choirmaster. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for men are hounding me; all day they press their attack.1Have mercy on me, God, because men have harassed me. Those who oppress me have fought against me all day long.
2My enemies pursue me all day long, for many proudly assail me.2Those who watch me all day have harassed me, for there are many who fight against me out of conceit.
3When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.3On days when I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man 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 long they twist my words; all their thoughts are on my demise.5All day long people distort what I say; all their schemes against me are for evil purposes.
6They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.6They gather together and hide in ambush. They watch my every step as they lie in wait for my life.
7In spite of such sin, will they escape? In Your anger, O God, cast down the nations.7Cast them away because of their wickedness. In wrath, God, cast down these people!
8You have taken account of my wanderings. Put my tears in 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?
9Then my enemies will retreat on the day I cry for help. By this I will know that God is on my side.9My enemies will retreat when I call on you. This has been my experience, because God is with me.
10In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,10In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,
11in God I 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.
12Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings 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, and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.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!
