9 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.
9 O my Strength, I will watch for you, for you, O God, are my fortress. 10 My God in his steadfast love
9 Strong God, I'm watching you do it, I can always count on you. 10 God in dependable love shows up on time, shows me my enemies in ruin.
9 I will wait for You, O You his Strength; For God is my defense; 10 My God of mercy shall come to meet me; God shall let me see my desire on my enemies.
9 You are my strength; I wait for you to rescue me, for you, OÂ God, are my fortress. 10 In his unfailing love, my God will stand with me. He will let me look down in triumph on all my enemies.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 59:9-10
Commentary on Psalm 59:8-17
(Read Psalm 59:8-17)
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. It is very comfortable to us, in prayer, to look to God as the God of our mercy, the Author of all good in us, and the Giver of all good to us. The wicked can never be satisfied, which is the greatest misery in a poor condition. A contented man, if he has not what he would have, yet he does not quarrel with Providence, nor fret within himself. It is not poverty, but discontent that makes a man unhappy. David would praise God because he had many times, and all along, found Him his refuge in the day of trouble. He that is all this to us, is certainly worthy of our best affections, praises, and services. The trials of his people will end in joy and praise. When the night of affliction is over, they will sing of the Lord's power and mercy in the morning. Let believers now, in assured faith and hope, praise Him for those mercies, for which they will rejoice and praise him for ever.
