Psalm 57 is of the same character with Psalm 56, but in the former, confidence is increased, and the onward look is not only to the point of deliverance, but to the full display of the glory of God (verse 11) which will follow. Calamities continue, but in the shadow of His wings the godly Israelite will take refuge (verse 1).
There is no fear in this psalm, though the sense of danger is present (verse 4). Verse 6 looks on to the end, as yet not reached. It is evidently felt to be near, and the last 5 verses look at the trials by the way as all past; the day of glory as already dawned.
