Psalm 56:7

A Call For God's Protection

⁶ They attack, they lurk,
They watch my steps,
As they have waited to take my life.
⁷ Because of wickedness, cast them forth,
In anger put down the peoples, O God!
⁸ You have taken account of my wanderings;
Put my tears in Your bottle.
Are they not in Your book?

O God

And have laid waste his habitation.

And listen to what my opponents are saying!

On those who deal treacherously?
Why are You silent when the wicked swallow up
Those more righteous than they?
