Psalms 55:1-9

¹For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Gath.

²Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; All the day long he warring has afflicted me.

³Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; For there are many warring against me.

⁴They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee.

⁵In God I will praise my words; All the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.

⁶All the day long they have abominated my words; All their devices are against me for evil.

⁷They will dwell near and hide themselves; They will watch my steps, Accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.

⁸Thou wilt on no account save them; Thou wilt bring down the people in wrath.

⁹O God, I have declared my life to thee; Thou hast set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise.
