Psalm 56:7-13
New International Version
7 Because of their wickedness do not[a] let them escape;(A)
in your anger, God, bring the nations down.(B)
8 Record my misery;
list my tears on your scroll[b](C)—
are they not in your record?(D)
9 Then my enemies will turn back(E)
when I call for help.(F)
By this I will know that God is for me.(G)
10 In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise—
11 in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can man do to me?

Psalm 56:7-13
King James Version
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
10 In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word.
11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
