Psalms 56:9

PrayerGod's presenceHope

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?

Then my enemies will retreat on the day I cry for help. By this I will know that God is on my side.

10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,

11 in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
