Chapter 490 of 1163

PSALM 59

I will pray (1–7). David compared his enemies to dogs prowhng the city streets and growhng over the garbage. Saul was after him again (1 Sam. 19:1–11), and only the Lord could deliver David.

I will wait (8–15). David’s wife helped him escape that time, but David faced several years of danger and exile before he received his rightful throne. Twice he could have killed Saul, but he refused to do so. He knew that God would deal with his enemies in His way and in His time (1 Sam. 26:8–11).

I will sing (16–17). David had a song in the morning because God gave him joy in the morning (Ps. 30:5). Things often look worse at night, so wait for the morning; God will give you your song of praise.
