Praise from the pit of despair!
Psalm 57:4-5 (NKJV)
4 My soul is among lions;
I lie among the sons of men
Who are set on fire,
Whose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.

Verse 4 describes a time when it seemed all was lost.
The psalmist seemed in the pit of despair.
But in that situation, he came back with a prayer for God to be exalted!
To me this is challenging. I hope I could pray like that!
It serves as a reminder that whatever is happening, God knows about it
and we can seek His glory in it!
