Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.

Psalms 57
1To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yes, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until [these] calamities are overpast. 2I will cry to God most high; to God that performeth [all things] for me. 3He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. 4My soul [is] among lions: [and] I lie [even among] them that are set on fire, [even] the sons of men, whose teeth [are] spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. 5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth. 6They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst of which they have fallen [themselves]. Selah. 7My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. 8Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early. 9I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing to thee among the nations. 10For thy mercy [is] great to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds. 11Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
