The beauty of psalms like this is that they are worship in the midst of pleas for help. These are not the words of someone who lives above the dangers and trials of life. They are the words of a man whose soul is in the midst of lions, who lies down amid fiery beasts. His choice to thank God and exalt him while enduring these difficulties is the choice of faith.
LORD, may we a;ways make the choice of faith, and sing praises to your name in the midst of our troubles.
Psalm 57
