Psalm 57:11 (ESV)

11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!

Once more, David appeals to God to intercede on behalf of the exiles in the cave. Again, his perspective was broader than the cave, and included all heaven and earth.

David’s kingship and the peace that followed under the reign of Solomon were only a partial fulfillment of this psalm. With this prayer, David expresses the hope that the liberation he experienced would become part of all the nations on earth.
