Psalm 56
Trust in God under Persecution
To the leader: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. Of David. A Miktam, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.
1 Be gracious to me, O God, for people trample on me;
all day long foes oppress me;
2 my enemies trample on me all day long,
for many fight against me.
O Most High, 3 when I am afraid,
I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I am not afraid;
what can flesh do to me?
5 All day long they seek to injure my cause;
all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They stir up strife, they lurk,
they watch my steps.
As they hoped to have my life,
7 so repay[a] them for their crime;
in wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
8 You have kept count of my tossings;
put my tears in your bottle.
Are they not in your record?
9 Then my enemies will retreat
on the day when I call.
This I know, that[b] God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
11 in God I trust; I am not afraid.
What can a mere mortal do to me?
12 My vows to you I must perform, O God;
I will render thank-offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered my soul from death,
and my feet from falling,
so that I may walk before God
in the light of life.

信靠上帝的祷告
大卫作的诗，交给乐长，调用“远方无声鸽”，大卫在迦特被非利士人抓住时所作。
56 上帝啊，求你怜悯我，
因为仇敌攻击我，整日迫害我。
2 我的仇敌整日攻击我，
许多人狂妄地迫害我。
3 我害怕的时候，
仍要倚靠你。
4 我赞美上帝的应许，
我信靠祂，就不惧怕，
区区世人能把我怎样？
5 他们整天歪曲我的话，
总是图谋害我。
6 他们勾结起来，
暗中监视我的行踪，
伺机害我。
7 上帝啊，
不要让这些作恶的人逃脱，
求你在怒中毁灭他们。
8 你知道我的哀伤，
你把我的眼泪收在袋中。
我的遭遇都记录在你的册子上。
9 我向你求救的时候，
敌人都落荒而逃。
我知道上帝是我的帮助。
10 我因上帝的应许而赞美祂，
我因耶和华的应许而赞美祂。
11 我信靠上帝，就不惧怕，
区区世人能把我怎样？
12 上帝啊，
我要恪守向你发的誓言，
献上感恩祭。
13 因为你救我脱离死亡，
使我没有跌倒，
让我可以活在你面前，
沐浴生命之光。

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,
for my enemies are in hot pursuit;(B)

in their pride many are attacking me.(E)
3 When I am afraid,(F) I put my trust in you.(G)
4 In God, whose word I praise—(H)
in God I trust and am not afraid.(I)
What can mere mortals do to me?(J)
5 All day long they twist my words;(K)
all their schemes are for my ruin.
6 They conspire,(L) they lurk,
they watch my steps,(M)
hoping to take my life.(N)
7 Because of their wickedness do not[c] let them escape;(O)
in your anger, God, bring the nations down.(P)
8 Record my misery;
list my tears on your scroll[d](Q)—
are they not in your record?(R)
9 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?
