56:1 Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into the cave. [1 Kings 24.]

56:2 My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.

56:3 From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.

56:4 In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me.

56:5 All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.

56:6 They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,

56:7 For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces. O God,

56:8 I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set me tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.

56:9 Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.

56:11 In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech. In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.

56:12 In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:

56:13 Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
