For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
The fifty-seventh psalm belongs to David's time hiding in the cave of Adullam among the mountains of Judah while fleeing Saul's pursuit. He was joined there by his brothers and all his father's household, who came down to him for safety. Their coming united the family in sympathy and affection, and the harmony that replaced discord over his brothers' distrust brought joy to his heart as an exile.
