Context of Psalms 57:7

5Be exalted above the heavens, O God; Let Your glory and majesty be over all the earth. 6They set a net for my steps; My very life was bowed down. They dug a pit before me; Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah. My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast and confident! I will sing, yes, I will sing praises [to You]! 8Awake, my glory! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. 9I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praises to You among the nations.
