Awit 56
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
56 Maawa ka sa akin, Oh Dios: sapagka't sasakmalin ako ng tao: buong araw ay nangbababag siya na pinipighati ako.
2 Ibig akong sakmalin ng aking mga kaaway buong araw: sapagka't sila'y maraming may kapalaluan na nagsisilaban sa akin.
3 Sa panahong ako'y matakot, aking ilalagak ang aking tiwala sa iyo.
4 Sa Dios (ay pupuri ako ng kaniyang salita), sa Dios ay inilagak ko ang aking tiwala, hindi ako matatakot; anong magagawa ng laman sa akin?
5 Buong araw ay binabaligtad nila ang aking mga salita: lahat ng kanilang mga pagiisip ay laban sa akin sa ikasasama.
6 Sila'y nagpipisan, sila'y nagsisipagkubli, kanilang tinatandaan ang aking mga hakbang, gaya ng kanilang pagaabang sa aking kaluluwa.
7 Tatakas ba sila sa pamamagitan ng masama? Sa galit ay ilugmok mo ang mga bayan, Oh Dios.
8 Iyong isinasaysay ang aking mga paggagala: ilagay mo ang aking mga luha sa iyong botelya; wala ba sila sa iyong aklat?
9 Tatalikod nga ang aking mga kaaway sa kaarawan na ako'y tumawag: ito'y nalalaman ko, sapagka't ang Dios ay kakampi ko.
10 Sa Dios (ay pupuri ako ng salita), sa Panginoon (ay pupuri ako ng salita),
11 Sa Dios ay inilagak ko ang aking tiwala, hindi ako matatakot; anong magagawa ng tao sa akin?
12 Ang iyong mga panata ay sa akin, Oh Dios: ako'y magbabayad ng mga handog na pasalamat sa iyo.
13 Sapagka't iniligtas mo ang aking kaluluwa sa kamatayan: hindi mo ba iniligtas ang aking mga paa sa pagkahulog? upang ako'y makalakad sa harap ng Dios sa liwanag ng buhay.
Psalm 56
New King James Version
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.
2 My enemies would (C)hound me all day,
For there are many who fight against me, O Most High.
3 Whenever I am afraid,
I will trust in You.
4 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?
5 All day they twist my words;
All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They gather together,
They hide, they mark my steps,
When they lie in wait for my life.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity?
In anger cast down the peoples, O God!
8 You number my wanderings;
Put my tears into Your bottle;
(E)Are they not in Your book?
9 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?

Psalm 56
King James Version
56 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
10 In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word.
11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
