Psalms 56:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 56:8

Compare all

6 They gather together,
They hide, they mark my steps,
When they lie in wait for my life.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity?
In anger cast down the peoples, O God!

8 You number my wanderings;
Put my tears into Your bottle;
^aAre they not in Your book?

9 When I cry out to You,
Then my enemies will turn back;
This I know, because ^aGod is for me.

10 In God (I will praise His word),
In the Lord (I will praise His word),

11 In God I have put my trust;
I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

12 Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God;
I will render praises to You,

13 ^aFor You have delivered my soul from death.
Have You not kept my feet from falling,
That I may walk before God
In the ^blight of the living?
