Selah. 6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. 7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords *are* in their lips: for who, *say they*, doth hear? 8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. 9 *Because of* his strength will I wait upon thee: for God *is* my defence.* 10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see *my desire* upon mine enemies.* 11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. 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. 13 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. 14 And at evening let them return; *and* let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. 15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.** 16 But I will sing of thy 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. 17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God *is* my defence, *and* the God of my mercy. [Psalms 58](/study/psalms/58) [Psalms 60](/study/psalms/60) ## Commentary To verse 1 [Psalms 59:0](/kjv/psalms/59/0). *David prayeth to be delivered from his enemies: he complaineth of their cruelty: he trusteth in God: he prayeth*[*or prophesieth*] *against them: he praiseth God.* To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. ***Title.*****תשׁחת********אל*********al tashcheth.*****—** This psalm is a noble vindication of David's innocence, in that he could, in the most private retirement, and upon the most serious and deliberate reflection, thus solemnly appeal to God, that he was not chargeable with the least perfidy, wickedness, or crime, which could excite the hatred of his enemies, and give occasion to Saul to pursue him with such eagerness and malice to his destruction, [Psalms 59:3-4](/kjv/psalms/59/3-4). For he represents them as falsely defaming him, running to prepare themselves and execute Saul's commands; as some of them besetting his house by night, and like snarling dogs ready to bite, threatening to lay hold of and murder him; whilst others went about the city to prevent any possible way of escaping; so that, according to the history, Michal was forced to let him down through the window to secure his retreat. He, therefore, earnestly prays for God's protection; declares that his dependance for safety was on his power; assures himself that God would defend him; and resolves to celebrate the praises of him who had been his refuge and security in the time of danger.
