Highlights
The Psalmist prayed for deliverance from his enemies and trust God as a fortress in times of trouble vs 1, vs 16
Psalms 59:1,9-17
[1]Save me from my enemies, my God; protect me from those who attack me!
[9]I have confidence in your strength; you are my refuge, O God.
[10]My God loves me and will come to me; he will let me see my enemies defeated.
[11]Do not kill them, O God, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your strength and defeat them, O Lord, our protector.
[12]Sin is on their lips; all their words are sinful; may they be caught in their pride! Because they curse and lie,
[13]destroy them in your anger; destroy them completely. Then everyone will know that God rules in Israel, that his rule extends over all the earth.
[14]My enemies come back in the evening, snarling like dogs as they go about the city,
[15]like dogs roaming about for food and growling if they do not find enough.
[16]But I will sing about your strength; every morning I will sing aloud of your constant love. You have been a refuge for me, a shelter in my time of trouble.
[17]I will praise you, my defender. My refuge is God, the God who loves me.
