“But when I am afraid,
I put my trust in you.
O God, I praise your word.
I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?
…
You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.
On the very day I call to you for help,
my enemies will retreat.
This I know: God is on my side.”
-Psalm 56:3&4,8&9
