56 (По слав. 55). За първия певец, по гълъба на далечните дъбове. Песен на Давида, когато филистимците го хванаха в Гет {1 Цар. 21:10-15.}. Смили се за мене, Боже, защото човек иска да ме погълне; Всеки ден, като воюва, ме притеснява.

Неприятелите ми всеки ден искат да ме погълнат; Защото мнозина са ония, които с гордост воюват против мене.

Когато съм в страх, На Тебе ще уповавам.

Чрез Бога ще хваля думите му; На Бога уповавам; няма да се боя; Какво ще ми стори човек {Еврейски: Плът.}?

Всеки ден изкривяват думите ми; Всичките им помисли са за зло против мене.

Събират се, потайват се, наблюдават стъпките ми Така като че причакват душата ми.

Ще се избавят ли чрез беззаконието? Боже, повали с гняв тия племена.

Ти си преброил скитанията ми; Тури сълзите ми в съда Си; Не са ли те <записани> в Твоята книга?

Тогава ще се върнат неприятелите ми надире в деня, когато Те призова; Това зная, защото Бог е с мене.

10 Чрез Бога ще хваля думите <Му;> Чрез Господа ще хваля думите <Му>.

11 На Бога уповавам; няма да се боя; Какво ще ми стори човек?

12 Върху мене, Боже, са моите към Тебе обреци; Ще Ти принеса благодарствени приноси.

13 Понеже Си избавил душата ми от смърт, Няма ли <да избавиш и> нозете ми от подхлъзване, За да ходя пред Бога във виделината на живите?

Psalm 56[a]

For the director of music. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” Of David. A miktam.[b] When the Philistines had seized him in Gath.

Be merciful to me,(A) my God,
    for my enemies are in hot pursuit;(B)
    all day long they press their attack.(C)
My adversaries pursue me all day long;(D)
    in their pride many are attacking me.(E)

When I am afraid,(F) I put my trust in you.(G)
    In God, whose word I praise—(H)
in God I trust and am not afraid.(I)
    What can mere mortals do to me?(J)

All day long they twist my words;(K)
    all their schemes are for my ruin.
They conspire,(L) they lurk,
    they watch my steps,(M)
    hoping to take my life.(N)
Because of their wickedness do not[c] let them escape;(O)
    in your anger, God, bring the nations down.(P)

Record my misery;
    list my tears on your scroll[d](Q)
    are they not in your record?(R)
Then my enemies will turn back(S)
    when I call for help.(T)
    By this I will know that God is for me.(U)

10 In God, whose word I praise,
    in the Lord, whose word I praise—
11 in God I trust and am not afraid.
    What can man do to me?

12 I am under vows(V) to you, my God;
    I will present my thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered me from death(W)
    and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
    in the light of life.(X)

Prayer for Relief from Tormentors

To the Chief Musician. Set to [a]“The Silent Dove in Distant Lands.” A Michtam of David when the (A)Philistines captured him in Gath.

56 Be (B)merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up;
Fighting all day he oppresses me.
My enemies would (C)hound me all day,
For there are many who fight against me, O Most High.

Whenever I am afraid,
I will trust in You.
In God (I will praise His word),
In God I have put my trust;
(D)I will not fear.
What can flesh do to me?

All day they twist my words;
All their thoughts are against me for evil.
They gather together,
They hide, they mark my steps,
When they lie in wait for my life.
Shall they escape by iniquity?
In anger cast down the peoples, O God!

You number my wanderings;
Put my tears into Your bottle;
(E)Are they not in Your book?
When I cry out to You,
Then my enemies will turn back;
This I know, because (F)God is for me.
10 In God (I will praise His word),
In the Lord (I will praise His word),
11 In God I have put my trust;
I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

12 Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God;
I will render praises to You,
13 (G)For You have delivered my soul from death.
Have You not kept my feet from falling,
That I may walk before God
In the (H)light of the living?
