For the choirmaster. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” A Miktam + 56:1 Miktam is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 16 and 56–60. of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.
561Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: All the day long he fighting oppresseth me.+2Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me.+3What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.+4In God ( I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?+5All the day long they wrest my words: All their thoughts are against me for evil.+6They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, They mark my steps, Even as they have waited for my soul.+7Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.+8Thou numberest my wanderings: Put thou my tears into thy bottle; Are they not in thy book?+9Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: This I know, that God is for me.+10In God ( I will praise [his] word), In Jehovah ( I will praise [his] word),+11In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do unto me?+12Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thank-offerings unto thee.+13For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [Hast thou] not [delivered] my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?+
