Psalms 56:8(KJV) Thou tellest myvwanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

 

One of my favorite songs says that "every tear I've cried you hold on your hand"

So I decided to look it up asked this verse came up.. Does this mean that God does keep our tears in a bottle? Or is David just asking? Just wondering

Psalms 56:8   Jamison, Faucet & Brown

God is mindful of his exile and remembers his tears. The custom of bottling the tears of mourners as a memorial, which has existed in some Eastern nations, may explain the figure.

Here's what the NIV says.

Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll -- are they not in your record?
