Context
Psalm 56
56:1 For the music director; according to the yonath-elem-rechovim style; a prayer of David, written when the Philistines captured him in Gath. Have mercy on me, O God, for men are attacking me! All day long hostile enemies are tormenting me. 56:2 Those who anticipate my defeat attack me all day long. Indeed, many are fighting against me, O Exalted One. 56:3 When I am afraid, I trust in you. 56:4 In God– I boast in his promise– in God I trust, I am not afraid. What can mere men do to me?
