Psalm 59
59:1 «To
the chief Musician, Altaschith,
a
Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.»
b
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against
me.
(
a) Or, a certain tune.
(
b) Though his enemies were even at hand to
destroy him, yet he assures himself that God had ways to deliver him.
59:3 For, lo, they lie in wait
for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not [for] my
c
transgression, nor [for] my sin, O LORD.
(
c) For I am innocent toward them, and have not
offended them.
59:5 Thou therefore, O LORD God
of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not
d
merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
(
d) Seeing it belongs to God's judgments to
punish the wicked, he desires God to execute his vengeance on the reprobate,
who maliciously persecutes his Church.
59:6 They return at evening: they make a noise like
a
e dog, and go round about the city.
(
e) He compares their cruelty to hungry dogs
showing that they are never weary in doing evil.
59:7 Behold, they
f
belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in their lips: for who, [say they],
doth hear?
(
f) They boast openly in their wicked devises,
and every word is as a sword: for they neither fear God nor are ashamed of
men.
59:9 g
[Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God [is] my defence.
(
g) Though Saul has great power, yet I know that
you bridle him: therefore I will patiently hope in you.
59:10 The God of my mercy shall
h
prevent me: God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
(
h) He will not fail to help me when need
requires.
59:11 Slay them
i
not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O
Lord our shield.
(
i) Altogether, but little by little, that the
people seeing your judgments often, may be mindful of you.
59:12 [For] the sin of their mouth [and] the words
of their lips let them even be
k taken
in their pride: and for cursing and lying [which] they speak.
(
k) That in their misery and shame they may be as
glasses and examples of God's vengeance.
59:13 l
Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they [may] not [be]: and let them
know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
(
l) When your time will come, and when they have
sufficiently served for an example of your vengeance to others.
59:14 And at evening let them
m
return; [and] let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
(
m) He mocks their vain enterprises, being
assured that they will not bring their purpose to pass.
59:16 But I will sing of thy
n
power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my
defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
(
n) Who used the policy of a weak woman to
confound the enemies strength, (
1 Samuel
19:12).
59:17 Unto thee, O my
o
strength, will I sing: for God [is] my defence, [and] the God of my mercy.
(
o) Confessing himself to be void of all virtue
and strength, he attributes the whole to God.
