Psalm 57 begins in a cave. The singer asks for grace and refuge under God’s wings “until ruin passes by.” Lions, sharp tongues, and a net remain nearby, yet a refrain of praise sounds before the heart is Established. Ramona reads the prayer as John follows its movement from shelter to a song that greets the dawn. With Paula, we bring the need for refuge into the Spirit of Adoption and the Lord’s Prayer. Praying with Jesus, we hear resurrection hope as companionship through the night. The person still in the cave belongs to the song.
