Psalm 56:6-8
Evangelical Heritage Version

6 They gather together. They hide.
They try to trip me by grabbing my heels
    while they wait to take my life.

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?
