Context of Psalms 57:7
5Be exalted above the heavens, O God; Let Your glory be above all the earth. 6They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They dug a pit before me; They themselves have fallen into the midst of it. Selah. My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises! 8Awake, my glory! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. 9I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to You among the nations.
