Psalms 57

Psalms 57:1-11

This too is “To the chief musician; Al-tascheth (destroy not), of David, Michtam, on his fleeing from Saul in the cave.” In the evidently close companion of Ps. 56, the progress of soul in confidence is more complete. It is no longer the plea, “for man would swallow me up,” but the quiet assurance, “for my soul is trusting in thee.” And God’s word was not praised in vain. Intervention from heaven is counted on, God’s loving-kindness too and truth, with the grand result of His exaltation above the heavens, and His glory above all the earth. All things work together for good to those that love Him, as the godly remnant will; and as we do now by grace.
