Psalm 59

The following title reveals the occasion for writing this psalm, which closely resembles the previous one. The author begins by emphasizing the cruelty and injustice of the hostility shown by his enemies, for which he is blameless. He follows this complaint with a heartfelt prayer to God for assistance. As he finds renewed hope through devout meditation, he goes on to predict the disastrous fate of his adversaries. In conclusion, he vows to maintain a thankful remembrance of his deliverance and to celebrate the goodness of God.
