What is the context?
The prayer asks God to account for wandering and tears, picturing them as kept rather than discarded. The confidence that God is for the speaker answers the enemies’ pursuit.
The repeated praise of His word leads to promised thanksgiving and walking before Him in the light of life. Rescue is desired for a continued life of faithful presence.
The bottle and book images communicate attention. Their point does not depend on proving the existence of a particular ancient artifact made for collecting tears.
How is this passage commonly understood?
Wesley reads the bottle as God’s pity and regard, and the final walking as life serving Him. The BSB states deliverance of the feet where the older text frames it as a question. The thanksgiving should keep its actual wording visible.
