Psalms 57; 58 and 59: 1 – 4, 9 – 17

Psalms 57: 1 – 7
All David’s dependence is upon GOD. The most eminent believers need often repeat the publican’s prayer, “GOD be merciful to me a sinner.” But if our souls trust in the LORD, this may assure us, in our utmost dangers, that our calamities will at length be over past, and in the meantime, by faith and prayer, we must make HIM our refuge. Though GOD be most high, yet HE condescends so low, as to take care that all things are made to work for good to HIS people. This is a good reason why we should pray earnestly. Look which way we will on this earth, refuge fails, and no help appears; but we may look for it from heaven. If we have fled from the wrath to come, unto JESUS CHRIST, HE that performed all things needful to purchase the salvation of HIS people, will do for us and in us all things needful for our enjoyment of it. It made David droop to think there should be those that bore Him so much ill-will. But the mischief they designed against HIM, returned on themselves. And when David was in the greatest distress and disgrace, he did not pray, LORD, exalt me, but, LORD, exalt THINE own name. Our best encouragement in prayer, is taken from the glory of GOD, and to that, more than to our own comfort, we should have regard in all our petitions for mercy.
