Psalm 57:2
“I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 57Meaning
The verse grounds the plea for refuge in God’s character and activity. The psalmist does not claim control of the outcome; he appeals to the God who acts on his behalf.
Calling to God Most High
The opening movement turns immediate danger into prayer for mercy, refuge, and help from the God whose steadfast love and faithfulness can reach the threatened worshiper.
Read carefully
The psalm expresses confidence in God’s faithful agency, not a blank guarantee for the worshiper’s preferred plan or timetable.
Reflection
Pray specifically while releasing the demand to control every mechanism by which help must come.
