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; he fighting daily oppresseth me.+2Mine enemies would daily swallow
me up: for
they be
many that fight against me, O thou most High.+3What time 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 unto me.+5Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts
are against me for evil.+6They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.+7Shall they escape by iniquity? in
thine anger cast down the people, O God.+8Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle:
are they not in thy book?+9When I cry
unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God
is for me.+10In God will I praise
his word: in the LORD will I praise
his word.+11In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.+12Thy vows
are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.+13For thou hast delivered my soul from death:
wilt not
thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?+
