2. The psalmist's confidence that God would help 57:6-11

57:6 Now David spoke of himself as a wild animal whom hunters were trying to snare. However, he believed that his hunters would fall into their own trap (cf. 7:15; 9:15; 35:8).

57:7-10 In anticipation of his deliverance David promised to praise God (cf. 108:1-5). He returned to previous references to the Lord's loyal love and truth (v. 10; cf. v. 3).

57:11 The refrain closes the psalm (cf. v. 5). God's glory was David's greatest concern.

Life sometimes seems similar to a jungle with wild beasts threatening to devour us and hostile hunters trying to trap us. Nevertheless the godly can count on supernatural assistance and can rejoice in ultimate salvation. In the mean time we should live for the glory of God.
