In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed. 2I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me. 3He reaches down from heaven and saves me; He rebukes those who trample me.

Psalm 57
1. David in prayer fleeing unto God, complains of his dangerous case
7. He encourages himself to praise God














(2) Peformeth all things for me.--Literally, completes for me, which may be explained from the analogy of Psalm 138:8. But as the LXX. and Vulg. have "my benefactor" (reading gom?l for gom?r) we may adopt that emendation.

Verse 2. - I will cry unto God most High. In the original, "unto Elohim 'elyon" - an expression which only occurs here and in Psalm 78:56. El elyon, however, occurs in Psalm 78:45; as in Genesis 14:18, 19, 22, and Jehovah 'elyon in Psalm 7:18 [Psalm 7:17]. Unto God that performeth all things for me (comp. Psalm 138:8). God "accomplishes" for his saints whatever is good for them.
