Psalm 59:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 59:2

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity
(See Gill on Psalms 6:8);

and save me from bloody men;
such as Saul sent to kill David, as appears from the title of the psalm; and such as were concerned in the death of Christ; and such, are the enemies of God's people, the followers of the man of sin. The heap of words, the various expressions used in a way of petition, in this verse and ( Psalms 59:1 ) , show the distress the psalmist was in, and whom he represents; his importunity, earnestness, and fervency in prayer.

Psalm 59:2 In-Context

1 Au chef des chantres. Ne détruis pas. Hymne de David. Lorsque Saül envoya cerner la maison, pour le faire mourir. Mon Dieu! délivre-moi de mes ennemis, Protège-moi contre mes adversaires!
2 Délivre-moi des malfaiteurs, Et sauve-moi des hommes de sang!
3 Car voici, ils sont aux aguets pour m'ôter la vie; Des hommes violents complotent contre moi, Sans que je sois coupable, sans que j'aie péché, ô Eternel!
4 Malgré mon innocence, ils courent, ils se préparent: Réveille-toi, viens à ma rencontre, et regarde!
5 Toi, Eternel, Dieu des armées, Dieu d'Israël, Lève-toi, pour châtier toutes les nations! N'aie pitié d'aucun de ces méchants infidèles! -Pause.
