Psalm 57

1/18/2018

Running through Psalm 57 is the constant reminder that in difficult times the believer can have every reason to maintain confidence in God. As always, God can be counted on to come and intervene. The Psalmist is counting on the faithful love of God to protect when the enemy attacks. For that very reason we are to sing his praise and honor him. Great is the love of God and great is his faithfulness.
Have mercy on me, O my God, have mercy
I take my refuge in thee;
I’m under your wings till disaster has passed
Your protection has set me free.

God will send help from heaven and save me
His faithful love is sure;
Be exalted O God in the heavens above
May your glory forever endure.

I find myself in the midst of lions
Men with teeth to dread;
A pit they’ve dug for me, a net’s been laid 
But they’ve caught themselves instead;

My heart is confident in you, O God
No wonder I sing your praise;
Wake up, O my soul, praise God over all
I ‘ll honor him all my days.

Great is your love reaching up to the sky
Your faithfulness I’ve known from birth;
Be exalted O God, show your greatness to all
May your glory shine over the earth
