Psalms 56:1-6

¹To the chief Musician upon Jonathelem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

²My enemies would daily swallow me up: for they are many that fight against me, O thou Most High.

³In the time when I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

⁴In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me.

⁵Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.

⁶They assemble themselves, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
