King James Bible |
Youngs Literal Translation |
|
| 56:1 | Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. | To the Overseer. -- `On the Dumb Dove far off.' -- A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me, |
| 56:2 | Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. | Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many `are' fighting against me, O most High, |
| 56:3 | What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. | The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee. |
| 56:4 | In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. | In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me. |
| 56:5 | Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. | All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts `are' for evil, |
| 56:6 | They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. | They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul. |
| 56:7 | Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God. | By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God. |
| 56:8 | Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? | My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou -- place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book? |
| 56:9 | When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. | Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God `is' for me. |
| 56:10 | In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word. | In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word. |
| 56:11 | In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. | In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me, |
| 56:12 | Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. | On me, O God, `are' Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee. |
| 56:13 | For 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? | For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living! |
