Context of Psalms 59:10
8But you laugh at them, Lord; you scoff at all those nations. 9You are my strength, I watch for you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely. God will go before me and will let me gloat over those who slander me. 11But do not kill them, Lord our shield, or my people will forget. In your might uproot them and bring them down. 12For the sins of their mouths, for the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride. For the curses and lies 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

- 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.
