Psalms 57

Psalms 57 — John Wesley

57:1–2

Walk - That I may serve and glorify thee. The light - ln this life.

57:3

Send forth - Will discover them, by affording his gracious help in pursuance of his promises.

57:4

Lions - Fierce and bloody men. I lie - I have my abode. On fire - From hell. Who are mere fire - brands, breathing out wrath and threatenings, and incensing Saul against me.

57:5

Excited - Glorify thy power, and goodness, and justice, and faithfulness, by my deliverance. Above, &c. - To the highest degree possible.

57:7

Fixed - In a stedfast belief of thy promises.

57:8

My glory - My tongue, the instrument of singing. Awake - I will employ all the powers of my soul and body.

57:9

The people - Among the Israelites, and among the Heathens, as I shall have occasion.
