Though written when David was king of Israel, the psalm recalls an earlier time of anguish when Saul sought to kill David.
Ultimately David’s strong confidence in God’s sovereignty transforms the lament into a song of assurance as he:
I. Pleas for God’s Deliverance (59:1-15).
II .Praise for God’s Defense (59:16-17).
Psalm 59:1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.Psalm 59:6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
Psalm 59:8 But Thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; Thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
Psalm 59:12 [For] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying [which] they speak."
