Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
시편 59
개요
다윗이 사울이 집을 지켜 죽이려 할 때 썼다는 믹담이다. 하나님을 요새와 산성으로 신뢰하며 어둠 속에 숨어있는 원수들에 맞서 아침에 노래하겠다고 결단한다. 내 힘이 되신 하나님을 찬양하는 마지막 후렴으로 마무리된다.
Key Verses
The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
