Psalm 56
New American Standard Bible

Pleading for Help and Grateful Trust in God.

For the music director; according to [a]Jonath elem rehokim. A [b]Mikhtam of David, [c]when the Philistines seized him in Gath.

56 Be gracious to me, God, for a man has [d](A)trampled upon me;
[e]Fighting all day long he (B)oppresses me.
2 My enemies have (C)trampled upon me all day long,
For [f]they are many who (D)fight proudly against me.
3 [g]When I am (E)afraid,
[h]I will (F)put my trust in You.
4 (G)In God, whose word I praise,
In God I have put my trust;
I shall not be afraid.
(H)What can mere [i]mortals do to me?
5 All day long they (I)distort my words;
All their [j](J)thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They [k](K)attack, they lurk,
They (L)watch my [l]steps,
As they have (M)waited to take my [m]life.
7 Because of their wickedness, will there be an (N)escape for them?
In anger (O)make the peoples fall down, God!

8 You (P)have taken account of my [n]miseries;
Put my (Q)tears in Your bottle.
Are they not in (R)Your book?
9 Then my enemies will (S)turn back (T)on the day when I call;
This I know, [o]that (U)God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise,
In the Lord, whose word I praise,
11 In God I have put my [p]trust, I shall not be afraid.
What can mankind do to me?
12 Your (V)vows are binding upon me, God;
I will render thanksgiving offerings to You.
13 For You have (W)saved my soul from death,
[q]Indeed (X)my feet from stumbling,
So that I may (Y)walk before God
In the (Z)light of the [r]living.

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.

1 Be merciful to me,(A) my God,

    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—

Psalm 56
Amplified Bible

Supplication for Rescue and Grateful Trust in God.

To the Chief Musician; set to [the tune of] “Silent Dove Among Those Far Away.” A Mikhtam of David. [A record of memorable thoughts] when the Philistines seized him in Gath.

56 Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled on me;
All day long the adversary oppresses and torments me.
2 
My enemies have trampled upon me all day long,
For they are many who fight proudly against me.
3 
When I am afraid,
I will put my trust and faith in You.
4 
In God, whose word I praise;
In God I have put my trust;
I shall not fear.
What can mere man do to me?
5 
All day long they twist my words and say hurtful things;
All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 
They attack, they hide and lurk,
They watch my steps,
As they have [expectantly] waited to take my life.
7 
Cast them out because of their wickedness.
In anger bring down the peoples, O God!

8 
You have taken account of my wanderings;
Put my tears in Your bottle.
Are they not recorded in Your book?
9 
Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call;
This I know, that God is for me.(A)
10 
In God, whose word I praise,
In the Lord, whose word I praise,
11 
In God have I put my trust and confident reliance; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
12 
Your vows are binding upon me, O God;
I will give thank offerings to You.
13 
For You have rescued my soul from death,
Yes, and my feet from stumbling,
So that I may walk before God
In the light of life.

Salmos 56
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009

Davi roga a Deus que o livre dos seus inimigos e confia em que ele lho conceda

Mictão de Davi para o cantor-mor, sobre Jonate-Elém-Recoquim, quando os filisteus o prenderam em Gate

56 Tem misericórdia de mim, ó Deus, porque o homem procura devorar-me; e me oprime, pelejando todo o dia. 2 Os que me andam espiando procuram devorar-me todo o dia; pois são muitos os que pelejam contra mim, ó Altíssimo. 3 No dia em que eu temer, hei de confiar em ti. 4 Em Deus louvarei a sua palavra; em Deus pus a minha confiança e não temerei; que me pode fazer a carne? 5 Todos os dias torcem as minhas palavras; todos os seus pensamentos são contra mim para o mal. 6 Ajuntam-se, escondem-se, espiam os meus passos, como aguardando a minha morte. 7 Porventura, escaparão eles por meio da sua iniquidade? Ó Deus, derriba os povos na tua ira!

8 Tu contaste as minhas vagueações; põe as minhas lágrimas no teu odre; não estão elas no teu livro? 9 Quando eu a ti clamar, então, retrocederão os meus inimigos; isto sei eu, porque Deus está comigo. 10 Em Deus louvarei a sua palavra; no Senhor louvarei a sua palavra. 11 Em Deus tenho posto a minha confiança; não temerei o que me possa fazer o homem.

12 Os teus votos estão sobre mim, ó Deus; eu te renderei ações de graças; 13 pois tu livraste a minha alma da morte, como também os meus pés de tropeçarem, para que eu ande diante de Deus na luz dos viventes.

Salmo 56

Para o mestre de música. De acordo com a melodia Uma Pomba em Carvalhos Distantes. Poema epigráfico davídico. Quando os filisteus prenderam Davi em Gate.

1 Tem misericórdia de mim, ó Deus,
    pois os homens me pressionam;
o tempo todo me atacam e me oprimem.
2 Os meus inimigos pressionam-me sem parar;
muitos atacam-me arrogantemente.

3 Mas eu, quando estiver com medo,
    confiarei em ti.
4 Em Deus, cuja palavra eu louvo,
    em Deus eu confio, e não temerei.
Que poderá fazer-me o simples mortal?

5 O tempo todo
    eles distorcem as minhas palavras;
estão sempre tramando prejudicar-me.
6 Conspiram, ficam à espreita,
vigiam os meus passos,
    na esperança de tirar-me a vida.
7 Deixarás escapar essa gente tão perversa?[a]
Na tua ira, ó Deus, derruba as nações.
8 Registra, tu mesmo, o meu lamento;
recolhe as minhas lágrimas em teu odre;
acaso não estão anotadas em teu livro?

9 Os meus inimigos retrocederão,
    quando eu clamar por socorro.
Com isso saberei que Deus está a meu favor.
10 Confio em Deus, cuja palavra louvo,
no Senhor, cuja palavra louvo,
11 em Deus eu confio, e não temerei.
Que poderá fazer-me o homem?

12 Cumprirei os votos que te fiz, ó Deus;
a ti apresentarei minhas ofertas de gratidão.
13 Pois me livraste da morte
    e os meus pés de tropeçarem,
para que eu ande diante de Deus
    na luz que ilumina os vivos.
