CHAP. LIX.
1 Dauid prayeth to be deliuered from his enemies. 6 Hee complaineth of their cruelty. 8 Hee trusteth in God. 11 He prayeth against them. 16 He praiseth God.
1 [To the chiefe musician Al-taschith, Michtam of Dauid: when Saul sent, and they watcht the house to kill him.] Deliuer me from mine enemies, O my God: defend mee from them that rise vp against me.1
2 Deliuer mee from the workers of iniquitie, and saue me from bloodie men.
4 They runne and prepare themselues without my fault: awake to helpe me, and behold.4
6 They returne at euening: they make a noise like a dogge, and go round about the citie.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lippes; for who, say they, doeth heare?7
8 But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt haue all the heathen in derision.
9 Because of his strength will I wait vpon thee: for God is my defence.9
10 The God of my mercy shall preuent me; God shall let mee see my desire vpon mine enemies.10
15 Let them wander vp and downe for meate, and grudge if they be not satisfied.15
17 Vnto thee, O my strength, wil I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.

59:4 Run - To and fro, to receive Saul's commands, and to execute them with all speed.
59:5 The God - A God in covenant with all true Israelites, whom thou hast promised to protect and bless. The heathen - Or, these heathens, who though they are Israelites by birth; yet in their dispositions they are mere Heathens. Be not - For indeed thou canst not according to thy word, be merciful to such incorrigible offenders.
59:6 Return - Watching for me: which they did at this time all the night long, #1Sam 19:11|. A dog - When he is pursuing his prey. Go round - When they did not find him in his own house, they sought for him in other parts of the city.
59:7 Pour out - Sharp and bitter word's, abundantly and vehemently, as a fountain doth waters, as this word signifies. Swords - Words as keen and mischievous as swords. For who - David doth not hear us, and God either doth not hear, or not regard what we say.
59:10 Prevent - Thou wilt help me sooner than I expect.
59:11 My people - Over whom thou hast appointed me to be governor in due time. Forget - Their former danger, and thy glorious mercy in delivering them. Scatter - Let them wander from place to place, that they may carry the tokens of thy justice, and their own shame to all places.
59:12 Pride - For their proud and insolent speeches against thee. Lying - For their execrations and lying reports, which they have spread concerning me.
59:13 Not be - In the land of the living any more.
