Commentaries on Psalms 59:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10The God of my mercy shall prevent me - The mercy of God shall go before me, and thus help me in all my doings. God shall let me see my desire - The sentence is short. God will let me see concerning my enemies, i.e., how he will treat them.Read the comment
