Psalms 55 CPDV

¹ Unto the end. For the people who have become far removed from the Sacred. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when the Philistines held him in Gath.

² Have mercy on me, O God, because man has trampled over me.All day long, he has afflicted me by fighting against me.

³ My enemies have trampled over me all day long.For those who make war against me are many.

⁴ From the height of the day, I will be afraid.But truly, I will hope in you.

⁵ In God, I will praise my words. In God, I have put my trust.I will not fear what flesh can do to me.

⁶ All day long, they curse my words.All their intentions are for evil against me.

⁷ They will dwell and hide themselves.They will watch my heel, just as they waited for my soul;

⁸ because of this, nothing will save them.In your anger, you will crush the people.

⁹ O God, I have announced my life to you.You have placed my tears in your sight, and even in your promise.

¹⁰ Then my enemies will be turned back.On whatever day that I call upon you, behold, I know that you are my God.

¹¹ In God, I will praise the word. In the Lord,I will praise his speech. In God, I have hoped.I will not fear what man can do to me.

¹² My vows to you, O God, are in me.I will repay them. Praises be to you.

¹³ For you have rescued my soul from death and my feet from slipping,so that I may be pleasing in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
