I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.

Psalm 57:1-11

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.

I cry out to God Most High, to God, who vindicates me.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

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.

My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.

I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

David from the time when he was in hiding from Saul. Circumstances may be black, but those who fill their minds with God can sing his raise, come what may. Paul and Silas also knew the truth of this.

Why?

David praise the Lord when enemies were before him, for he trusts in the Lord, God will save him.

My heart is steadfast, it says to himself be strong and steadfast. Even he may sing and make music.

Faith to the Lord based on the experience of God's grace and love.

大衛兩次在洞中，這次在隱基底或是亞杜蘭洞。如果洞只有一處出口，是很危險的。此時只有依靠神。如在獅子洞中。處境惡劣，好像人說話就傷人。

更多提到神的榮耀、這裏許多禱告、讚美。這首詩篇更多信心的禱告，宣告。滿心相信的禱告。成全諸事： 成就大事。慈愛和誠實：神的性情。慈愛是神行事態度，誠實是神行事的能力。信心的禱告

v7-11:更多信心的宣告。醒起，原來可能睡著，現在清醒了。要相信、要宣告，無路可走時，要醒起。因為神的慈愛達穹蒼、信實高及諸天。清楚神的行事目標就是神的榮耀。神的名、神的榮耀最重要。神的榮耀透過神的作為顯出來。按著神的慈愛、憐憫、公義。我們要求的當然是自己的困境，雖然要解決，若是彰顯神的榮耀就必成就。

How?

I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.
