To the chief Musician upon Jonath Elem Rechokim, Michtam [a.ka. Miktam,] of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. |
Psalm 56:1-13 Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
O God, be merciful to me: for man would [devour] me. He oppresses me & [fights] daily. [My] enemies would swallow me daily: for they [are] many [who] fight against me, O You Most High. I will trust in You, [whenever] I'm afraid. |
I will praise God in His Word. I have put my trust in God & I will not [be afraid of] what [man] can do to me. [Romans 8:31 Then, what shall we say [about] these things? If God [is] for us, who can be against us.] |
Everyday, they [twist] My words [around.] All their thoughts are against Me for evil. They gather themselves together & they hide themselves. They [watch] My steps, when they [lay in] wait for My [life.] |
[Matthew 22:15-21 Then, the Pharisees went & took counsel, how they might entangle Him in His talk. And they sent out their disciples with the Herodians to Him , saying, [Teacher,] we know that You are true & teach the way of God in truth. |
Neither [do] You show [partiality] for any man: for you don't regard the [status] of men. Therefore, tell us, What [do] You [think?] Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? But Jesus [realized] their wickedness I said, Why [do] you [tempt] Me, you hypocrites? |
Show me the tribute money. And they brought to Him a penny. And He said to them, Whose is this image & [inscription?] They said to Him, Caesar's. Then He said to them, Therefore, [give] to Caesar, the things [that] are Caesar's & to God, the things that are God's.] |
Shall they escape [through sin?] O God, in Your anger, throw down the people. [Proverbs 11:5 The righteousness of the [blameless] shall direct his [path:] but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.] |
You put my tears into Your bottle. You tell [of] my [journeys,] aren't they in Your book? When I cry [out] to You, then my enemies shall [return] back. I know this; for God is for me. |
I will praise God in His Word & I will praise the Lord in His Word. I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid [of] what man can do to me. O God, I will [give] praises to You, [for] Your vows are upon me. For You have delivered my soul from death. |
Won't You deliver my feet from falling, [so] that I may walk before God in the light of the living? [Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my Light & my Salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of My life, of whom shall I be afraid?] |
