⁸You have kept count of my tossings;
   put my tears in your bottle.
   Are they not in your record?
⁹Then my enemies will retreat
   on the day when I call.
   This I know, that^* God is for me.
¹⁰In God, whose word I praise,
   in the Lord, whose word I praise,
¹¹in God I trust; I am not afraid.
   What can a mere mortal do to me?

¹²My vows to you I must perform, O God;
   I will render thank-offerings to you.
