Psalms 56:1

Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

> Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: All the day long he fighting oppresseth me.

To the Overseer. -- `On the Dumb Dove far off.' -- A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for men are hounding me; all day they press their attack.
