Psalms.
Chapter 56.
To the chief Musician upon Jonathelem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. 
My enemies would daily swallow me up: for they are many that fight against me, O thou Most High. 
In the time when I am afraid, I will trust in thee. 
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me. 
Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. 
They assemble themselves, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. 
Shall they escape by iniquity; in thy anger cast down the people, O God. 
Thou numberest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? 
When I cry to thee , then shall my enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. 
In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word. 
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do to me. 
Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises to thee. 
For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt thou not deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
