Context of Psalms 59:10
8But You, O Lord, shall laugh at them; You shall have all the nations in derision. 9I will wait for You, O You his Strength; For God is my defense. My God of mercy shall come to meet me; God shall let me see my desire on my enemies. 11Do not slay them, lest my people forget; Scatter them by Your power, And bring them down, O Lord our shield. 12For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, Let them even be taken in their pride, And for the 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.
