Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.

Psalms 56
1To the chief Musician upon Jonathelem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. 2My enemies would daily swallow [me] up: for [they are] many that fight against me, O thou Most High. 3In the time when I am afraid, I will trust in thee. 4In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me. 5Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts [are] against me for evil. 6They assemble themselves, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. 7Shall they escape by iniquity; in [thy] anger cast down the people, O God. 8Thou numberest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: [are they] not in thy book? 9When I cry [to thee], then shall my enemies turn back: this I know; for God [is] for me. 10In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise [his] word. 11In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do to me. 12Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises to thee. 13For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt thou] not [deliver] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
