"My enemies turn back when I call on YOU for help; now I know that GOD is for me.
In GOD, whose word I praise; in GOD I trust, without fear. What can mortals do against me?
I am bound to YOU by vows, O GOD; I shall offer my thanksgiving.
For YOU have rescued my soul from death and my feet from stumbling; that I might walk in GOD's presence, in the light of the living."
- Psalm 56:10-14
(It is good to pray with this psalm, on the face of so much suffering and so many tears that don't find a human answer.
This is a prayer of the millions of oppressed who live, and no doubt will die crushed. 'YOU, LORD, have gathered our tears!' We can only know what GOD thinks of human suffering from HIS Son, GOD's Word to us. When JESUS saw Martha weeping, HE started to cry HIMSELF [John 11:33-34]. But in the end, GOD 'will wipe all the tears away' and there will be no more crying [Revelation 21:4].)
