Context of Psalms 59:10
8But Lord, you laugh at them. You scoff at all the hostile nations. 9You are my strength; I wait for you to rescue me, for you, O God, are my fortress. In his unfailing love, my God will stand with me. He will let me look down in triumph on all my enemies. 11Don’t kill them, for my people soon forget such lessons; stagger them with your power, and bring them to their knees, O Lord our shield. 12Because of the sinful things they say, because of the evil that is on their lips, let them be captured by their pride, their curses, and their lies.

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.
