Notes

Psalms 57:5

This verse appears again in Psalm 57:11 and 108:5.
God's glory, which is his visible presence that keeps out all evil (Psalm 8:1; 19:1–4; 24:7), will fill the entire creation (Isaiah 6:3).

Psalms 57:1–11

The psalmist asks for mercy and protection, then expresses trust and confidence in the Lord (Psalm 57:1–4). When the wicked fall into their own traps (Psalm 57:6), the psalmist will praise the Lord (57:7–10).

Psalms 51:1–65:13

These psalms of David share a common theme. They reflect on the experience of evil. In Psalm 51, the psalmist admits his wrongdoing and asks for God's forgiveness. Psalms 52–64 express sorrow over specific evils David faced. A song of praise (Psalm 65) brings David's laments to an end.
