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?
