Context of Psalms 59:10
8But thou, O Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt have all the nations in derision. 9Because ofhis strength I will give heed unto thee; For God is my high tower. My God with his lovingkindness will meet me: God will let me see my desire upon mine enemies. 11Slay them not, lest my people forget: Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield. 12Forthe 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.

On the word “prevent” see the notes at Psalm 21:3; compare Psalm 17:13; Psalm 18:5. The meaning here is, that God would “go before…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 8-17Verses 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.
