Psalm 56:8-11
The Message
8 You’ve kept track of my every toss and turn
through the sleepless nights,
Each tear entered in your ledger,
each ache written in your book.
9 If my enemies run away,
turn tail when I yell at them,
Then I’ll know
that God is on my side.
10-11 I’m proud to praise God,
proud to praise God.
Fearless now, I trust in God;
what can mere mortals do to me?
Psalm 56:8-10
New International Version
8 Record my misery;
list my tears on your scroll[a](A)—
are they not in your record?(B)
9 Then my enemies will turn back(C)
when I call for help.(D)
By this I will know that God is for me.(E)
10 In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise—
