Psalms 56:6

⁴ In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

⁵ All day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are on my demise.

They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.

⁷ 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?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
