Psalm 56:7-9
Evangelical Heritage Version
David’s Trust
7 Because of their wickedness do not let them escape.[a]
In your anger bring down the peoples, O God.
8 You keep a record of my tossing and turning.[b]
Keep my tears in your bottle.
Aren’t they all listed in your book?
9 Then my enemies will turn back on the day when I call.
This is how I will know that God is for me.
Footnotes
- Psalm 56:7 The Hebrew reads because of wickedness, deliverance to them. This does not make sense in the context. The translation assumes there was an accidental omission of a negative. Another way to handle the problem is to make the phrase a question: because of their wickedness, will they escape?
- Psalm 56:8 Or wandering
