Psalm 56:7-9
Living Bible

7 They expect to get away with it. Don’t let them, Lord. In anger cast them to the ground.

8 You have seen me tossing and turning through the night. You have collected all my tears and preserved them in your bottle! You have recorded every one in your book.

9 The very day I call for help, the tide of battle turns. My enemies flee! This one thing I know: God is for me!
