Psalms 56:7
5 All day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are on my demise.
6 They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.
In spite of such sin, will they escape? In Your anger, O God, cast down the nations.
8 You have taken account of my wanderings. Put my tears in Your bottle— are they not in Your book?
9 Then my enemies will retreat on the day I cry for help. By this I will know that God is on my side.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
