Psalm 57

The psalm ends with a call for God to display his greatness and glory. But this not a demand for a proof of his power. This is an adoration. The psalmist is calling on God to display to the world what his eyes of faith have already witnessed. From the proper perspective God small movements of providence are glorious displays of his unending greatness. When God rearranges a hopeless situation so that a person of faith is either released or vindicated then thanks are offered from the faithful and the rebel is left looking like a fool completely confused. God's greatness should never be underestimated.
