Psalms 57:1

"Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast." (What a mixture of feebleness and strength there is in this first verse-the feebleness so beautiful by being clothed with the strength of faith! What a turning away from man and what a turning wholly unto the Lord! And, in coming to the Lord, what humility and what pleading for mercy, and for mercy only! And what joyous confidence and what sweet rest in God! "If I cannot see the brightness of your face, the shadow of your wings will be enough for me. Only let me get near you-only permit me humbly to trust you, and it will be enough for me, until these calamities pass").

Charles H. Spurgeon
