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














My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast
The phrase "My heart is steadfast" is a declaration of unwavering faith and trust in God. The Hebrew word for "steadfast" is "נָכוֹן" (nakon), which conveys a sense of being firm, established, and prepared. In the context of David's life, this steadfastness is remarkable given the trials he faced, including being pursued by King Saul. Historically, David's ability to maintain a steadfast heart amidst adversity is a testament to his deep relationship with God. This phrase encourages believers to cultivate a heart that remains firm in faith, regardless of life's challenges, reflecting a deep-seated trust in God's sovereignty and goodness.

I will sing and make music
The act of singing and making music is a form of worship and praise. The Hebrew word for "sing" is "אָשִׁירָה" (ashirah), and "make music" is "אֲזַמֵּרָה" (azamrah). These actions are not just expressions of joy but are also acts of spiritual warfare and proclamation of God's glory. In the historical context of ancient Israel, music played a crucial role in worship and was often used in the temple and during significant events. David, known for his musical talents, exemplifies how worship through music can be a powerful expression of faith and a means to uplift the spirit. This phrase inspires believers to use their gifts in music and song to honor God, reinforcing the idea that worship is a vital part of a steadfast heart.

(7) Fixed.--Better, steadfast (See Psalm 51:10, Note.)

Verse 7. - My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; or, my heart is steadfast - it does not doubt or waver, it is firm in its trust on thee. I will sing and give praise. Sing to thee, i.e., and praise thy Name.
