** In Psalm 57, David cries out to God while hiding in a cave from King Saul, who was seeking his life. Surrounded by danger, David turns to the Lord for refuge and protection, expressing both his deep distress and unwavering trust in God's mercy and power. He praises God even amidst overwhelming circumstances, believing in His deliverance.
Psalm 57 teaches us that in our most desperate moments, we can take shelter in God’s wings. It’s a powerful message of trust, hope, and praise, no matter the situation. In this blues adaptation, "Wings of Refuge Blues", I aim to capture the depth of David's cry for help and his steadfast faith in God's glory.
** Psalm 57 – World English Bible (WEB) Translation:
1 Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me,
for my soul takes refuge in you.
Yes, in the shadow of your wings,
I will take refuge,
until disaster has passed.
2 I cry out to God Most High,
to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
3 He will send from heaven, and save me,
he rebukes the one who is pursuing me.
Selah.
God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
4 My soul is among lions.
I lie among those who are set on fire,
even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows,
and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be above all the earth!
6 They have prepared a net for my steps.
My soul is bowed down.
They dig a pit before me.
They fall into the middle of it themselves.
Selah.
7 My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast.
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
8 Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp!
I will wake up the dawn.
9 I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples.
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens,
and your truth to the skies.
11 Be exalted, God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over all the earth.
** Wings of Refuge Blues – Lyrics 🎶
(Slow blues riff)
(Verse 1)
Lord, be merciful, I’m callin’ Your name,
I seek refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
Storms are heavy, winds howl in pain,
But in Your arms, I feel what safety brings.
My soul takes cover, while chaos reigns,
I’m holdin’ on, ‘til the dark tide wanes.
(Verse 2)
I cry to the Most High, You who fulfill,
Every cry, every whisper of my soul.
From heaven, You send down Your will,
You lift me from the pit, make me whole.
Enemies hunt, but You stand still,
Your love and truth are my only goal.
(Verse 3)
Teeth like spears, tongues sharp as swords,
I walk among lions with flames in their eyes.
But I stand firm, trustin' in Your word,
Their traps are set, but it’s You who replies.
They fall in the pit they dug, Lord,
Your justice comes with no disguise.
(Chorus)
Be exalted, God, above the skies,
Let Your glory fill every land and sea.
Be exalted, Lord, let my spirit rise,
In Your truth, I find what it means to be free.
(Guitar riff: slow, haunting)
(Verse 4)
My heart is steady, my soul’s awake,
No fear in me, no trembling here.
I’ll sing Your praises before daybreak,
Your name on my lips, so pure, so clear.
Every dawn, I’ll rise for Your sake,
Your light shines and breaks all fear.
(Verse 5)
I’ll thank You, Lord, before all men,
My song will echo ‘cross the earth.
Among the nations, again and again,
I’ll sing of love and Your truth’s great worth.
Your mercy reaches the skies,
It covers the world, it gives new birth.
(Bridge)
Wake up, my soul, rise from the deep,
No more silence, no more sleep.
I’ll play my song to the heavens above,
With lute and harp, I’ll sing of Your love.
Through valleys, mountains, and endless skies,
My heart beats with Your holy ties.
(Outro)
Your love climbs the heights of heaven,
Your truth shines like the stars in the night.
Be exalted, God, now and forever,
Above every storm, You are the light.
(Guitar fade out: slow, contemplative)
