2. Deliver me from my enemies, O God, from those who rise up against me.
Psalm 59 is a psalm of lamentation of David, in which he cries to God to free him of his enemies who persecute him. He describes his enemies as a pack of hungry dogs that wore and surround his home. David trusts God to protect him and destroy his enemies. Sewing the whole Bible, five verses related to the topics covered in Psalm 59 were found to be proximally proximally to the themes of the chapter:
Proverbs 25:21-22: "If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; if he thirsty, give him water to drink. For thou shalt pour embers of fire upon his head, and the Lord will reward you. " This verse shows that David's response to the persecution of his enemies must be kindness rather than revenge.
1 Samuel 24:10: "Behold, this day you have seen with your eyes that the Lord today gave you to my hands in this cave; and they said to me to kill you, but I spared you, saying, I will not extend my hand against the My Lord, for it is the anointed of the Lord. " In this verse, David demonstrates his piety and respect for King Saul, even when he was his enemy.
Proverbs 21:30: "There is no wisdom, no intelligence, no advice against the Lord." David trusts God to protect him and destroy his enemies, because he knows that there is no greater power than that of the Lord.
Romans 12:19: "You shall not avenge yourselves, beloved, but give the wrath of God, for it is written, My is revenge; I will reward, say the Lord." This verse reinforces the idea that David should leave revenge on God's hands.
Psalm 34:17: "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them, and delivers them from all their anguish." This verse shows that David can trust God to hear him and deliver him from his afflictions.
