56:7 Because they are bent on violence, do not let them escape! 1
In your anger 2 bring down the nations, 3 O God!
56:8 You keep track of my misery. 4
Put my tears in your leather container! 5
Are they not recorded in your scroll? 6
56:9 My enemies will turn back when I cry out to you for help; 7
I know that God is on my side. 8
56:10 In God – I boast in his promise 9 –
in the Lord – I boast in his promise 10 –
56:11 in God I trust, I am not afraid.
What can mere men 11 do to me? 12
56:12 I am obligated to fulfill the vows I made to you, O God; 13
I will give you the thank-offerings you deserve, 14
56:13 when you deliver 15 my life from death.
You keep my feet from stumbling, 16
so that I might serve 17 God as I enjoy life. 18
