Psalm 56:1King James 3 - The Literal TraslationTo the chief musician. Concerning the silent dove, those far off. Of David, a secret treasure (when the Philistines seized him in Gath). Favor me, for man snuffs me up; all the day fighting oppresses me, O Most High. See the chapter |
To the chief musician. On the Lily of Testimony. A secret treasure of David, to teach; when he struggled with Aramnaharaim, and with Aram-zobah; when Joab returned, and struck twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. O God! You have cast us off; You have broken us; You who were angry, take us back.
And the Philistine leaders were angry against him. And the Philistine leaders said to him, Send the man back, and he shall return to his place there where you have appointed him. And he shall not go down with us into battle, and shall not become an adversary to us in battle. And with what should this one give pleasure to his master, if not with the heads of these men?
