Psalms - Chapter 55

Passage

To the end, for a people that is removed at a distance from the sanctuary: for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar) when the Philistines held him in Geth. Have mercy on me, O God, for man has trodden me under foot; all the day long he has afflicted me fighting against me. My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me. From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in you. In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me. All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me to evil. They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul, For nothing shall you save them: in your anger you shall break the people in pieces. O God, I have declared to you my life: you have set me tears in your sight, As also in your promise. Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon you, behold I know you are my God. In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech. In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me. In me, O God, are vows to you, which I will pay, praises to you: Because you have delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
