1 <V 55:1>Unto the end. For the people who have become far removed from the Sacred. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when the Philistines held him in Gath. Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me; For the director of music. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” Of David. A miktam. When the Philistines had seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, my God, for my enemies are in hot pursuit; all day long they press their attack.
2 <V 55:2>Have mercy on me, O God, because man has trampled over me. All day long, he has afflicted me by fighting against me. my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly. My adversaries pursue me all day long; in their pride many are attacking me.
3 <V 55:3>My enemies have trampled over me all day long. For those who make war against me are many. When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4 <V 55:4>From the height of the day, I will be afraid. But truly, I will hope in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me? In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?
5 <V 55:5>In God, I will praise my words. In God, I have put my trust. I will not fear what flesh can do to me. All day long they injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil. All day long they twist my words; all their schemes are for my ruin.
6 <V 55:6>All day long, they curse my words. All their intentions are for evil against me. They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps, as they have waited for my life. They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, hoping to take my life.
7 <V 55:7>They will dwell and hide themselves. They will watch my heel, just as they waited for my soul; For their crime will they escape? In wrath cast down the peoples, O God! Because of their wickedness do not let them escape; in your anger, God, bring the nations down.
8 <V 55:8>because of this, nothing will save them. In your anger, you will crush the people. You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book? Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll — are they not in your record?
9 <V 55:9>O God, I have announced my life to you. You have placed my tears in your sight, and even in your promise. Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me. Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.
10 <V 55:10>Then my enemies will be turned back. On whatever day that I call upon you, behold, I know that you are my God. In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise—
11 <V 55:11>In God, I will praise the word. In the Lord, I will praise his speech. In God, I have hoped. I will not fear what man can do to me. in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?
12 <V 55:12>My vows to you, O God, are in me. I will repay them. Praises be to you. I must perform my vows to you, O God; I will render thank offerings to you. I am under vows to you, my God; I will present my thank offerings to you.
13 <V 55:13>For you have rescued my soul from death and my feet from slipping, so that I may be pleasing in the sight of God, in the light of the living. For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life. For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
