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.
561<To the chief music-maker; put to Jonath elem rehokim. Of David. Michtam. When the Philistines took him in Gath.> Have mercy on me, O God, for man is attempting my destruction; every day he makes cruel attacks against me.+2My haters are ever ready to put an end to me; great numbers are lifting themselves up against me.+3In the time of my fear, I will have faith in you.+4In God will I give praise to his word; in God have I put my hope; I will have no fear of what flesh may do to me.+5Every day they make wrong use of my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.+6They come together, they are waiting in secret places, they take note of my steps, they are waiting for my soul.+7By evil-doing they will not get free from punishment. In wrath, O God, let the peoples be made low.+8You have seen my wanderings; put the drops from my eyes into your bottle; are they not in your record?+9When I send up my cry to you, my haters will be turned back; I am certain of this, for God is with me.+10In God will I give praise to his word; in the Lord will I give praise to his word.+11In God have I put my hope, I will have no fear of what man may do to me.+12I keep the memory of my debt to you, O God; I will give you the offerings of praise.+13Because you have taken my soul from the power of death; and kept my feet from falling, so that I may be walking before God in the light of life.+
