Psalm 59
Concise Complete
David prays for deliverance from his enemies. (1-7) He foresees their
destruction. (8-17)
Verses 1-7 In
these words we hear the voice of David when a prisoner in his own house; the
voice of Christ when surrounded by his merciless enemies; the voice of the
church when under bondage in the world; and the voice of the Christian when
under temptation, affliction, and persecution. And thus earnestly should we pray
daily, to be defended and delivered from our spiritual enemies, the temptations
of Satan, and the corruptions of our own hearts. We should fear suffering as
evil-doers, but not be ashamed of the hatred of workers of iniquity. It is not
strange, if those regard not what they themselves say, who have made themselves
believe that God regards not what they say. And where there is no fear of God,
there is nothing to secure proper regard to man.
Verses 8-17 It is
our wisdom and duty, in times of danger and difficulty, to wait upon God; for he
is our defence, in whom we shall be safe. It is very comfortable to us, in
prayer, to look to God as the God of our mercy, the Author of all good in us,
and the Giver of all good to us. The wicked can never be satisfied, which is the
greatest misery in a poor condition. A contented man, if he has not what he
would have, yet he does not quarrel with Providence, nor fret within himself. It
is not poverty, but discontent that makes a man unhappy. David would praise God
because he had many times, and all along, found Him his refuge in the day of
trouble. He that is all this to us, is certainly worthy of our best affections,
praises, and services. The trials of his people will end in joy and praise. When
the night of affliction is over, they will sing of the Lord's power and mercy in
the morning. Let believers now, in assured faith and hope, praise Him for those
mercies, for which they will rejoice and praise him for ever.
