Psalm 59

1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
9 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.
10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
13 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.
14 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16 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.
17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.

Key Verse:
8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.

Key Observation:
Wicked men plot to prevail, but their plots will come to exactly nothing.

Memory Verse:
9 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.

Devotion:
Verse nine is a direct reference to Saul; David was being hunted by Saul, who was far too strong for David to defeat. But this verse is also prophetic of the tribulation period, when Israel will find her enemy too strong. In that day and at that time Israel will look on him whom they have pierced and they will mourn for him and they will grieve for him; they will everyone realize their awful dead in crucifying their own Lord. Repentance will mark the nation of Israel, even as the Lord works his deliverance for them. “On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.” (Zechariah 12:9)

In the light of His sure coming, how are you living your life? If He came today, would He find you busy for Jesus, with works that will endure? I pray that when He does come, both you and I will be found busy, proclaiming Jesus to the lost.

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His word
Just to rest upon His promise
Just to know that it was set by God
Oh Jesus, Jesus
How I trust You
How I prove You more and more
Jesus, Jesus
My precious Jesus
I thank You for the grace
To trust You more

Tis So Sweet
