What is the meaning behind Psalms 56:8?  What does God do with the tears He collects?

Sincerely,
Kleenex Please

Dear Kleenex Please,

The Psalms are poetry, and they use poetic language.  God doesn’t physically collect tears, but He is aware of all of our sorrows (Ex 3:7).  God numbers the hairs on our head and is aware of all that goes on in our lives (Lk 12:6-7).  No matter how deep our suffering may be, God has compassion on us (Heb 4:15).
