Context of Psalms 59:10
8But you, O Lord, laugh in disgust at them; you taunt all the nations. 9You are my source of strength! I will wait for you! For God is my refuge. The God who loves me will help me; God will enable me to triumph over my enemies. 11Do not strike them dead suddenly, because then my people might forget the lesson. Use your power to make them homeless vagabonds and then bring them down, O Lord who shields us! 12They speak sinful words. So let them be trapped by their own pride and by the curses and lies 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.
