Psalm 57 - Praying God's Word

Please read Psalm 57.

Meditate on verse 7.

My heart is steadfast, O God,

 my heart is steadfast;

 I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!

David wrote this Psalm when things in his life were not going smoothly and as he had hoped. King Saul wanted David dead to ensure he not become king of Israel. A jealous Saul threatened to kill David for more than ten years of his life. Imagine David saying these words to God as he hid from Saul in the caves of the wilderness of Judah (1 Samuel 24).

The words of Psalm 57 can be your cry to God on days, weeks, months, even years when life is hard.

Pray Psalm 57:1-3 and 7 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“Be gracious to ________ and me, O God, be gracious to us,

for our souls take refuge in You.


In the shadow of Your wings we will take refuge


until destruction passes by.


We will cry to You, God Most High,


who accomplishes all things for us.


You will send from heaven and save us.


Reproach him who tramples upon us.


God, please send forth Your

lovingkindness and Your truth.

 Our hearts are steadfast;

 O God, our hearts are steadfast.

We will sing, yes, we will sing praises!


In Your name, Jesus~”
