Trust in God under Persecution

To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.

56 Be gracious to me, O God,
for men trample upon me;
    all day long foemen oppress me;
²my enemies trample upon me all day long,
    for many fight against me proudly.
³When I am afraid,
    I put my trust in thee.
