56 Be ^(B)merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up;
Fighting all day he oppresses me.

² My enemies would ^(A)hound me all day,
For there are many who fight against me, O Most High.

^3 (A)He shall send from heaven and save me;
He reproaches the one who ^[a]would swallow me up. Selah
God ^(B)shall send forth His mercy and His truth.

¹² Let us swallow them alive like ^[a]Sheol,
And whole, ^(A)like those who go down to the Pit;
