“Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?”
Psalms 56:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 56:8
The image of God numbering wanderings and collecting tears in a bottle reveals divine attention to suffering. The Hebrew 'nod' (wandering/exile) indicates David's fugitive status. Ancient Near Eastern peoples collected tears in small bottles to represent mourning; David asks if God similarly treasures his tears. 'Are they not in thy book?' affirms that God records all suffering for eschatological vindication.
