Psalms 56 · Grade 3

God Keeps My Tears

Name Date

Read the Story

The title says the Philistines seized David in Gath. He was far from home and in danger. He prayed, Be merciful to me, God. Then he said, When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

David said, In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me? He knew God saw everything. God counts his wanderings. God puts his tears into his container.

David said, I know this: that God is for me. God had kept his feet from falling. Now he could walk before God in the light of the living.
