"Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth."
How many times have we sung this worship chorus and never knew what a dreadful line was right before it in the 57th psalm of David.
The verse right before this:
"My soul is among lions:
and I lie even among them that are set on fire,
even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword."
To have people in your life that could be described as lions with fierce teeth and tongues is frightful, and yet, David endured this and still praised the Lord. You may live in a house of unbelievers or work among people that mock the things of God and church, but you can still praise the Lord with your whole heart,as David did.
To this day we read and sing these praises, because they were written in anointing and power and we overcome by the words of our testimony.
Just keep praising....it's a tried and true remedy for dealing with this world we live in.
Sharp tongues in your office or your kitchen? Sing this!
"Be thou exalted O God above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth."
