Psalm 56 was composed by the Psalmist David when he was captured by the his enemies the Philistines. His situation was compounded because he was captured in Gath which was the native city of Goliath the nations giant hero who he killed.
In this Psalm he earnestly prays for deliverance and expresses his desperate desire to be released from his captivity .The introductory title to the Psalm says, Jonath-elem-rechokim, which means 'the silent dove of far off places.' This may be referring to the melody which the Psalm is sung to. But, the assumption has been made that it refers to David's feelings regarding his situation. He is exiled from his home and he seeks refuge in remote locations, like a lonely dove driven from it's nest.
Whether you are feeling far from home or not there is a warm welcome which awaits you on Prayers of Hope; where we can rejoice with the Psalmist as we focus our Heavenly Father who hears our prayers and He will Deliver us. So that we can declare like David, with confidence in our God, 'What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee. In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.' Psalms 56:3,11.
