(Psalm 55:16-22) 16As for me, I will call out to God, And Jehovah will save me. 17Evening and morning and noontime, I am troubled and I groan, And he hears my voice. 18He will rescue me and give me peace from those fighting against me, For multitudes come against me. 19God will hear and respond to them, The one who sits enthroned from of old. (Selah) They will refuse to change, Those who have not feared God. 20He attacked those at peace with him; He violated his covenant. 21His words are smoother than butter, But conflict is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, But they are drawn swords. 22Throw your burden on Jehovah, And he will sustain you. Never will he allow the righteous one to fall. (Psalms 56:1-58:superscription) 56 Show me favor, O God, because mortal man is attacking me. All day long they keep fighting and oppressing me. 2My foes keep snapping at me all day long; Many arrogantly fight against me. 3When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. 4In God—whose word I praise— In God I put my trust; I am not afraid. What can mere man do to me? 5All day long they hurt my interests; Their only thought is to harm me. 6They conceal themselves to attack; They watch my every step, Hoping to take away my life. 7Reject them because of their wickedness. Bring down the nations in your anger, O God. 8You keep track of my wandering. Do collect my tears in your skin bottle. Are they not recorded in your book? 9My enemies will retreat on the day that I call for help. Of this I am confident: God is on my side. 10In God—whose word I praise— In Jehovah—whose word I praise— 11In God I put my trust; I am not afraid. What can a mere human do to me? 12I am bound by my vows to you, O God; I will offer you expressions of thanksgiving. 13For you have rescued me from death And prevented my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

When he ran away from Saul into the cave. 57 Show me favor, O God, show me favor, For I take refuge in you, And in the shadow of your wings I take refuge until the troubles pass. 2I call to God the Most High, To the true God, who brings them to an end for me. 3He will send help from heaven and save me. He will frustrate the one snapping at me. (Selah) God will send his loyal love and his faithfulness. 4I am surrounded by lions; I must lie among men who want to devour me, Whose teeth are spears and arrows And whose tongue is a sharp sword. 5Be exalted above the heavens, O God; May your glory be over all the earth. 6They have prepared a net to ensnare my feet; I am bowed down with distress. They have dug a pit ahead of me, But they fell into it themselves. (Selah) 7My heart is steadfast, O God, My heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music. 8Do awake, my glory. Do awake, O stringed instrument; you too, O harp. I will awaken the dawn. 9I will praise you among the peoples, O Jehovah; I will sing praises to you among the nations. 10For your loyal love is great, as high as the heavens, And your faithfulness, up to the skies. 11Be exalted above the heavens, O God; May your glory be over all the earth. To the director; set to “Do Not Bring to Ruin.” Of David. Mik′tam.
