Because of his strength That is, Saul’s strength, because he is too strong for me: or, as to his strength; will I wait on thee Hebrew, אליךְ אשׁמרה , eeleicha eshmorah, I will observe, or look, to thee. “Saul’s soldiers give me no concern; mine eyes are toward thee;” for God is my defence ... read more

Psalms 59:10. The God of my mercy The giver of all that mercy and comfort which I have or hope for; shall prevent me With the blessings of his goodness, Psalms 21:3. Thou shalt help me seasonably, before it be too late, and sooner than I expect. God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies Namely, in their disappointment and overthrow, as it follows; which was very desirable to David, no less for the public good than for his own safety and happiness.

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 59:11

Psalms 59:11. Slay them not Hebrew, אל תהרגם , al tahargeem, Thou wilt not slay them, namely, suddenly, or at once; lest my people My countrymen, those over whom thou hast appointed me to be governor in due time; forget Their former danger, thy glorious mercy in delivering them, and their own duty to thee for it. Hereby it plainly appears that David, in his prayers against, and predictions concerning his enemies, was not moved by private malice or desire of revenge, but by the respect... read more

Psalms 59:13. Consume them in wrath By degrees, and after thou hast made them to wander about, Psalms 59:11. That they may not be Namely, any more in the land of the living; and let them know Experimentally, and to their cost; that God ruleth Over and above them; that though Saul be king, yet God is his superior in power and authority, and all things shall be ordered among us, not as Saul pleases, but as God pleases; and therefore I shall be preserved, and at the proper time crowned,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 59:14-15

Psalms 59:14-15. And at evening let them return, &c. This is a repetition of the sixth verse, but is to be understood in a different sense. The sixth verse is a real complaint of their fury and diligence in pursuing him; here he speaks of them with a kind of indifference and contempt; and as free from any apprehension of danger from them. “Let them, if they please, return in the evening, growl at me like dogs, and watch all the avenues of the city, to take me; yet, like greedy dogs,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 59:1-17

Psalms 59:0 Wild dogsAt the time of writing this psalm, David had not yet fled to Gath and Adullam. He was still at Saul’s court, but his repeated military successes stirred up Saul’s jealousy, resulting in another attempt by Saul to spear him (1 Samuel 19:1-10). David escaped to the safety of his own house. Saul then laid a plot to murder him at his home, and David escaped only narrowly (1 Samuel 19:11-17). This psalm concerns the attempt on David’s life at his house.The psalm opens with a... read more
