Psalms 56
1(For the director. Set to The Silent, Distant Yonah. Of Dovid. A mikhtam — when the Pelishtim seized him in Gat) 1
2Channeni (be merciful) unto me, O Elohim: 1 for enosh (man) tramples upon me; 1 kol hayom they press their attack against me. 1
3Mine adversaries kol hayom trample me; 1 for they be rabbim that fight against me, Marom (Most High). 1
4What time I am afraid, 1 I will trust in Thee. 1
5In Elohim I will praise His Word. + 56:5 See Yn 1:1,14 1 In Elohim I have put my trust; 1 I will not fear 1 what basar can do unto me. 1
6Kol hayom they twist my words; 1 all their machsh'vot (thoughts) are against me for rah (evil). 1
7They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, 1 they are shomer over my steps, 1 when they wait for my nefesh. 1
8Shall they escape by iniquity? 1 In Thine anger cast down the amim (peoples), O Elohim. 1
9Thou hast acted as a sofer, recording my wanderings; 1 put Thou my tears into Thy wineskin; 1 are they not in Thy Sefer (Book)? 1
10On the day when I cry unto Thee, 1 then shall mine oyevim turn back; 1 of this I have da'as; for Elohim is for me. + 56:10 Ro 8:31 1
11In Elohim will I praise His Word; 1 in Hashem will I praise His Word. + 56:11 Yn 1:1; Prov 30:4; Ps 33:6; Prov 8:30 1
12In Elohim have I put my trust; 1 I will not be afraid. 1 What can adam do unto me? 1
13Thy nederim are upon me, O Elohim; 1 I will render todot (thank offerings) unto Thee. 1
14For Thou hast delivered my nefesh from mavet (death). 1 Wilt not Thou deliver my feet from stumblimg, 1 that I may walk before Elohim 1 in the Ohr HaChayyim (the light of the living)?
