Psalms, Chapter 56:

Verses from Psalms, Chapter 56 of the book of Psalms in the Bible.

• 8. You yourself count my afflictions; collect my tears in your bottle. Are they recorded in your book?
• 9. My enemies will turn back when I cry for help. With this I will know that God is on my side.
• 10. I trust in God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise.
• 11. In God I trust and do not fear. What can man do to me?
• 12. I will fulfill the vows I made to you, O God; I will offer you sacrifices of gratitude.
• 13. For you have saved me from death and my feet from stumbling, so that I can walk before God in the light that shines on the living.
