Passage: Psalm 57:4-6*
4. My soul is among lions; I must lie among those who breathe forth
fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp
sword
5. Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let Thy glory be above all
the earth.
6. They 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.
Questions
1. Verse 4 has some strong imagery describing a dangerous group of
people. What are some of these images and what might they mean?
2. His solution for the dangers in verse 4 is in verse 5 even though
at first glance it may not seem so. What is the writer trusting in for his protection?
3. What can happen to people with sinister motives (verse 6)?
Practical help
Internet pornography is like a net or a pit. It was set to trap you
and bring you down. When you find yourself in the pit, your help can only come from one
who is above you. Exalt God by acknowledging His goodness. He is in a position to rescue
you. Seek others who know Him so they can come along side you in your time of need. Come
back tomorrow for the conclusion of this Psalm.
