56
I could be trampled
even by the subtleties of violence.
I seek solace in a Temple far away.
I do not belong in a warring world.
I long chastised myself for my sensitivities
now know my years of being tossed about
were not alone.
You kept my tears in a bottle.
You kept my tears in a bottle.
You kept my tears in a bottle.
Cambridge Bible: verse 8: "...put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?"
ReplyDeleteNew English Bible: "...store every tear in thy flask."
Living Bible: "You have seen me tossing and turning through the night. You have collected all my tears and preserved them in a bottle!"
