1(56) For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me. 2Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me. 3They shall be afraid, but I will trust in you. 4In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me. 5All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil. 6They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul. 7You will on no account save them; you will bring down the people in wrath. 8O God, I have declared my life to you; you have set my tears before you, even according to your promise. 9Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon you; behold, I know that you are my God. 10In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying. 11I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me. 12The vows of your praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me. 13For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
