Psalms 57:5. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
David so rises above his present circumstances that he begins to praise his God. O beloved, there is no condition in which God ought to be robbed of a song! What if I am sick? Yet my Lord must have my music, even if the harp-strings are not well tuned. What if I am poor? Yet why should I be poor towards him, and deny him my need of praise? What if I am busy? Yet I must still find time for praising him. How sweetly David seeks to exalt and glorify his God, "Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth."
