PSALM 1956

Trust in God, the Helper in Need

1 For the director.
According to Yonath elem rehoqim.
A miktam of David,
when the Philistines seized him at Gath.

2 Have mercy on me,
God, for I am treated harshly;
attackers press me all the day.

3 My foes treat me harshly all the day;
yes, many are my attackers.
O Most High,

4 when I am afraid,
in you I place my trust.

 

5 God, I praise your promise;
in you I trust, I do not fear.
What can mere flesh do to me?

6 All the day they foil my plans;
their every thought is of evil against me.

7 They hide together in ambush;
they watch my every step;
they lie in wait for my life.

8 They are evil; watch them, God!
Cast the nations down in your anger!

9 My wanderings you have noted;
are my tears not stored in your vial,
recorded in your book?

10 My foes turn back when I call on you.
This I know: God is on my side.

11 God, I praise your promise;

12 in you I trust, I do not fear.
What can mere mortals do to me?

13 I have made vows to you,
God; with offerings I will fulfill them,

14 Once you have snatched me from death,
kept my feet from stumbling,
That I may walk before God
in the light of the living.
