We are in Psalms.

We're going to go through Psalms 56 through 60 today,

but as we have been in the Psalms, we're going to kind of choose one to focus in on.

But altogether in this passage today, CJ, we've got more Psalms from David. We kind of focused

on him yesterday. We've got more Psalms from David today, right? Yeah, the great part about

the Psalms is we get a little bit

of insight into how David was thinking and feeling during the events that are outlined in Samuel.

So that's kind of the fun part about the Psalms. Yeah, it really is. It's super fun. Okay, so which

psalm are we going to focus on today? Today we're going to focus on Psalm 57, and the superscription, the little title for that

psalm, says something about when David fled before Saul into the cave.

And this might remind us of our Samuel episode that we've done, where we talk about this

episode in 1 Samuel 24, where David and Saul are in the same cave.

David's on the run from Saul, but as fate would

have it, Saul ends up wandering into David's hiding spot. And rather than stretching out his hand

against the Lord's anointed, David says, I will not do that. He just takes a little piece of

garment from Saul to demonstrate that he could have harmed Saul, but he chose not to.

So that's sort of the background for the Psalm.

And David says here at the beginning,

be gracious to me, God, be gracious to me, for I take refuge in you.
