Context of Psalms 59:10
8But You, O Lord, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations. 9Because of his strength I will watch for You, For God is my stronghold. My God in His lovingkindness will meet me; God will let me look triumphantly upon my foes. 11Do not slay them, or my people will forget; Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield. 12On account of the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, Let them even be caught in their pride, And on account of curses and lies which they utter.

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

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. It is very comfortable to us, in prayer, to look to God as the God of our mercy, the Author of all good in us, and the Giver of all good to us.
