      Psalm 56 (Listen)

      In God I Trust

      56:1   Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me;
          all day long an attacker oppresses me;
      2   my enemies trample on me all day long,
          for many attack me proudly.
      3   When I am afraid,
          I put my trust in you.
      4   In God, whose word I praise,
          in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
          What can flesh do to me?
      5   All day long they injure my cause;2
          all their thoughts are against me for evil.
      6   They stir up strife, they lurk;
          they watch my steps,
          as they have waited for my life.
      7   For their crime will they escape?
          In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
      8   You have kept count of my tossings;3
          put my tears in your bottle.
          Are they not in your book?
      9   Then my enemies will turn back
          in the day when I call.
          This I know, that4 God is for me.
      10   In God, whose word I praise,
          in the LORD, whose word I praise,
      11   in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
          What can man do to me?
      12   I must perform my vows to you, O God;
          I will render thank offerings to you.
      13   For you have delivered my soul from death,
          yes, my feet from falling,
        that I may walk before God
          in the light of life.

      The God Who Bottles Our Tears

      One of my jobs in high school was helping local ranchers work cattle. We’d vaccinate, cut off horns, castrate, mark their ears, and brand them.
