11 Heb “my affairs they disturb.” For other instances of דָּבָר (davar) meaning “affairs, business,” see 183 The Piel of עָצַב (’atsav, “to hurt”) occurs only here and in Isa 63:10, where it is used of “grieving” (or “offending”) the Lord’s holy Spirit. Here in Ps 56:5, the verb seems to carry the nuance “disturb, upset,” in the sense of “cause trouble.”
12 Heb “against me [are] all their thoughts for harm.”
13 The verb is from the root גּוּר (gur), which means “to challenge, attack” in Isa 54:15 and “to stalk” (with hostile intent) in Ps 59:3.
14 Or “hide.”
15 Heb “my heels.”
16 Heb “according to,” in the sense of “inasmuch as; since,” or “when; while.”
17 Heb “they wait [for] my life.”

In other versions

All day long they injure my cause;

all their thoughts are against me for evil.

They stir up strife, they lurk;

they watch my steps,

as they have waited for my life.

All day long they twist my words;

all their schemes are for my ruin.

They conspire, they lurk,

they watch my steps,

hoping to take my life.

They twist my words all day long;

all their thoughts against me are evil.

They stir up strife, they lurk,

they watch my steps

while they wait to take my life.

They are always twisting what I say;

they spend their days plotting to harm me.

They come together to spy on me—

watching my every step, eager to kill me.

All day they twist my words;

all their thoughts are against me for evil.

They attack, they hide, they watch my steps,

as they lie in wait for my life.

Every day they wrest my words:

All their thoughts are against me for evil.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,

They mark my steps,

When they wait for my soul.
