Psalms 56 — Novel English Bible

1 Be chanan (showing favor) to me, Alahayam (), for anawash (man) wants to shaap (swallow) me up. All yawam (day) long, he attacks and oppresses me.

2 My sharar (enemies) want to shaap (swallow) me up all yawam (day) long, for they are many who lacham (fight) proudly against me.

3 When I am yaraa (fear / be afraid), I will batach (put) my trust in you.

4 In Alahayam (), I halal (praise) his dabar (word / matter). In Alahayam (), I batach (put) my trust. I will not be yaraa (fear / be afraid). What can bashar (flesh) ishah (make) to me?

5 All yawam (day) long they twist my dabar (word / matter). All their machashabah (thoughts) are against me for rai (evil).

6 They conspire and tzapan (lurk), shamar (keep/guard) my iqab (steps), they are eager to take my napash (soul).

7 Shall they palat (escape) by awan (iniquity)? In ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) yarad (cast) down the imayam (peoples), Alahayam ().

8 You sapar (book) my nawad (wanderings). You shawam (place / establish / appoint) my damaih (tears) into your naad (bottle). Aren't they in your sapar (book / scribed document)?

9 Then my ayab (enemy) shall shawab (turn back / repent) achawar (back) in the yawam (day) that I qaraa (called). I yadai (know) this, that Alahayam () is for me.

10 In Alahayam (), I will halal (praise) his dabar (word / matter). In Yahawah (), I will halal (praise) his dabar (word / matter).

11 I have batach (put) my trust in Alahayam (). I will not be yaraa (fear / be afraid). What can adam (man) ishah (make) to me?

12 Your nadar (vow) are on me, Alahayam (). I will shalam (give) thank thawadath (offerings) to you.

13 For you have natzal (delivered) my napash (soul) from mawath (death), and prevented my ragal (feet / foot) from dachay (falling), that I may halak (move) panayam (face) Alahayam () in the awar (light) of the chay (life).
