Psalm 56:7-9
Contemporary English Version

7 They won't get away[a]
    with these crimes, God,
because when you get angry,
    you destroy people.

8 You have kept record
    of my days of wandering.
You have stored my tears
in your bottle
    and counted each of them.

9 When I pray, Lord God,
    my enemies will retreat,
because I know for certain
    that you are with me.
