Praise from among ferocious enemies

Psalm 57:1-11
Praise from among ferocious(兇猛) enemies
Psalmist prayed to the Lord :Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings  until the disaster has passed.
Described situation of psalmist: They spread a net for my feet I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path—  but they have fallen into it themselves.
Faithfulness: My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.
Reminder: Awake, my soul!
Proclaim: For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Hebrew title, 'By David', from the time when he was in hiding from Saul.
Circumstances may be black, but those who fill their minds which God can sing his praise, come what may.
Paul and Silas also knew the truth of this.
Why?
David under distress, his heart is steadfast and may sing to the Lord, praise to the Lord.
Even there are many net and pit on his path, he believed that the Lord will save him.
Awake my soul: we are usually afraid in the situation, so awake my soul, remember God's mercy and mighty.
God's love reaching to the heavens, his faithfulness reaches to the skies, God can make anything possible we do not know.
How?
Don't watch the black situation, but have faith in the Lord. Do not fear for God is my fortress and my savior, his love reaching to the heavens. God guides my each step.
