March 8
Introduction
This psalm is an individual prayer for God’s protection from enemies. It is attributed to David at a time when he was hiding in a cave while running away from King Saul (see 1 Samuel 24). The psalm includes two refrains (verses 5, 11) that attest to the greatness and glory of God.
Scripture Reading
Psalm 57
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 57:2
I call to God, the Most High, to God, who supplies my every need.
Reflect
How would you describe the tone at the opening of this psalm? In verse 4, enemies are described as lions. In the psalms, enemies are often compared to lions or wild animals (see 7:2; 17:12; 22:12-13; 35:17; 58:6). What does this tell you about the kind of danger the psalm writer was facing? How is confidence in God expressed?
Pray
I thank you, Lord God, for your steadfast love and faithfulness. Great are you, God Most High, and your glory is over all the earth. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 59: A prayer for deliverance from enemies.
