Psalm 56 is a prayer for deliverance. [[David]] had found that [[faith]] was a great substitute for fear! In Psalm 55 he said, "Evening and morning, and at noon, will I [[pray]], and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice." [[God]] promises to hear our prayers if we will come to Him with our burdens and fears. This verse also gives the [[Christian]] a time schedule for praying--in the evening, morning, and at noon.
Psalm 57 is a prayer [[David]] made while in the cave at Adullam, hiding from Saul. [[David]]'s heart was fixed in trusting [[God]].
Psalm 58 records that destruction of the wicked is sure. [[David]] complained much about the prevalence of wickedness, and repeated over and over again that wickedness does not pay.
Psalm 59 is another of [[David]]'s prayers, made when [[Saul]] sent soldiers to entrap [[David]] at home.
Psalm 60 is a Psalm of discouragement. It covers the same period as II [[Samuel]] 8:3-14. It is a time of reverses in the war with the Syrians and the Edomites, but [[David]] knows who to go to in time of trouble. He asks [[God]] for help and [[God]] answers his prayer.
In Psalm 61 [[David]] is in the wilderness, fleeing from Absalom. It seems to him that he is at the end of the earth. His soul seems wrapped in gloom; then, from afar, he sees the Rock of his salvation, and says, "Lead me to the rock that is higher than I."
