<p class="tab-1">This psalm is very much like that which goes next before it; it was penned upon a like occasion, when David was both in danger of trouble and in temptation to sin; it begins as that did, “Be merciful to me;” the method also is the same. I. He begins with prayer and complaint, yet not without some assurance of speeding in his request, <a class="bibleref" title="Ps.57.1-Ps.57.6" href="/passage/?search=Ps.57.1-Ps.57.6">Ps. 57:1-6</a>. II. He concludes with joy and praise, <a class="bibleref" title="Ps.57.7-Ps.57.11" href="/passage/?search=Ps.57.7-Ps.57.11">Ps. 57:7-11</a>. So that hence we may take direction and encouragement, both in our supplications and in our thanksgivings, and may offer both to God, in singing this psalm.</p>
