Context of Psalms 56:10
8You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book. 9My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help. This I know: God is on my side! I praise God for what he has promised; yes, I praise the Lord for what he has promised. 11I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? 12I will fulfill my vows to you, O God, and will offer a sacrifice of thanks for your help.
