CHAP. LVI.

1 Dauid praying to God in confidence of his word, complaineth of his enemies. 9 Hee professeth his confidence in Gods word, and promiseth to praise him.

¹ [To the chiefe musician vpon Ionath Elem Rechokim, Michtam of Dauid, when the Philistines tooke him in Gath.] Be mercifull vnto mee, O God, for man would swallow me vp: he fighting daily, oppresseth me.

² Mine enemies would dayly swallow me vp: for they bee many that fight against me, O thou most high.²

³ What time I am afraide, I will trust in thee.

⁴ In God I will praise his worde, In God I haue put my trust, I will not feare what flesh can doe vnto me.

⁵ Euery day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against mee for euill.

⁶ They gather themselues together; they hide themselues, they marke my steps when they wait for my soule.

⁷ Shall they escape by iniquitie? in thine anger cast downe the people, O God.

⁸ Thou tellest my wanderings, put thou my teares into thy bottle: are they not in thy booke?

⁹ When I crie vnto thee, then shall mine enemies turne backe: this I know, for God is for me.

¹⁰ In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word.

¹¹ In God haue I put my trust: I will not bee afraid what man can doe vnto me.

¹² Thy vowes are vpon me, O God: I will render praises vnto thee.
