Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies.

Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies.

1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; Set me securely on high away from those who rise up against me. 
2 Deliver me from those who do iniquity And save me from men of bloodshed. 
3 For be hold, they have set an ambush for my life; Fierce men launch an attack against me, Not for mytransgression nor for my sin, O LORD,
4 For no guilt of mine, they run and set themselves against me. Arouse Yourself to help me, and see! 
5 You, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations; Do not be gracious to any who are treacherous in iniquity. Selah. 
6 They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go around the city. 
7 Behold, they belch forth with their mouth; Swords are in their lips, For, they say, "Who hears?" 
8 But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations. 
9 Because of his strength I will watch for You, For God is my stronghold. 
10 My God in His loving kindness will meet me; God will let me look triumphantly upon my foes. 
11 Do not slay them, or my people will forget; Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield. 
12 On account of the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, Let them even be caught in their pride, And on account of curses and lies which they utter. 
13 Destroy them in wrath, destroy them that they may be no more; That men may know that God rules in Jacob To the ends of the earth. Selah. 
14 They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go around the city. 
15 They wander about for food And growl if they are not satisfied. 
16 But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength; Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your loving kindness in the morning, For You have been my stronghold And a refuge in the day of my distress. 
17 O my strength, I will sing praises to You; For God is my stronghold, the God who shows me loving kindness. NewAmericanStandard

Psa 59:1  A David psalm, when Saul set a watch on David's house in order to kill him. My God! Rescue me from my enemies, defend me from these mutineers. 
Psa 59:2  Rescue me from their dirty tricks, save me from their hit men. 
Psa 59:3  Desperadoes have ganged up on me, they're hiding in ambush for me. I did nothing to deserve this, GOD, 
Psa 59:4  crossed no one, wronged no one. All the same, they're after me, determined to get me. Wake up and see for yourself! 
Psa 59:5  You're GOD, God of angel armies, Israel's God! Get on the job and take care of these pagans, don't be soft on these hard cases. 
Psa 59:6  They return when the sun goes down, They howl like coyotes, ringing the city. 
Psa 59:7  Then suddenly they're all at the gate, Snarling invective, drawn daggers in their teeth. They think they'll never get caught. 
Psa 59:8  But you, GOD, break out laughing; you treat the godless nations like jokes. 
Psa 59:9  Strong God, I'm watching you do it, I can always count on you. 
Psa 59:10  God in dependable love shows up on time, shows me my enemies in ruin. 
Psa 59:11  Don't make quick work of them, GOD, lest my people forget. Bring them down in slow motion, take them apart piece by piece. 
Psa 59:12  Let all their mean-mouthed arrogance catch up with them, Catch them out and bring them down --every muttered curse --every barefaced lie. 
Psa 59:13  Finish them off in fine style! Finish them off for good! Then all the world will see that God rules well in Jacob, everywhere that God's in charge. 
Psa 59:14  They return when the sun goes down, They howl like coyotes, ringing the city. 
Psa 59:15  They scavenge for bones, And bite the hand that feeds them. 
Psa 59:16  And me? I'm singing your prowess, shouting at cockcrow your largesse, For you've been a safe place for me, a good place to hide. 

Psa 59:17  Strong God, I'm watching you do it, I can always count on you-- God, my dependable love. MSG Message Bible.

Psalms 59:1-17

Psalm 59 gives more the external enemies. The same wickedness is found there, but the might of human power with it. But they also must be judged, that wickedness may be set aside. Nor was it the sin of Israel against them that brought the heathen on them (however God might chasten them for sin against Him, so that He was justified). The suffering remnant look therefore for the intervention of Jehovah to judge them. And Jehovah shall judge all the heathen. They are not destroyed, but scattered, yet practically, as power, consumed; and many, as we know, slain.
This psalm speaks of no restoration of blessing. It is judgment, and judgment going on and not yet finished. And this judgment of the proud and wicked enemies will go on. Though rising up in rage to a head of wickedness, they will be sore smitten and consumed. All the heathen are concerned in it, but I apprehend that it is especially the apostate power animated of Satan — partially the king of Daniel 8 perhaps. It will be remarked here that, the moment it is in contrast with the heathen, the name of Jehovah is introduced. The personal address is still under the name of God, for the people are still outside (see Psa_59:3; Psa_59:5; Psa_59:8 for Jehovah, and Psa_59:1; Psa_59:9-10; Psa_59:17 for the personal address). Note, the result is, that God rules in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Verses 14-15 (Ps_59:14-15) are, I apprehend, a challenge. Let the heathen be as hungry dogs about the city, the believer will sing of Jehovah's power. It is at the close of the tribulation.
This psalm presents another phase of the connection of Israel and Messiah, and shows how David became the fitted instrument whom God had attuned to tell Messiah's and the remnant's sufferings. "Slay them not, lest my people forget." [1] Now, this is not the language of the king, as such, but of Jehovah. The only case where "my people" is used is 2Sa_22:44, or Psa_18:43, where Christ is the speaker. But when Christ is born, He is called Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins. Now Jesus was the personal verifying of that which was said of Jehovah. In all their affliction He was afflicted, as in Isaiah 63. It is Jehovah who gets the tongue of the learned (Isaiah 50). So that "my people," where not directly of Jehovah which is frequent, is Christ entering into the sorrows of Israel, but in the love of Jehovah to them no doubt as man (or how could He have actually suffered?) but still in the sympathies of Jehovah — yet, and because He is Jehovah, perfectly entering into them. It is thus He wept over Jerusalem, saying, "How often would I have gathered thy children together!" But that was Jehovah Hence, though He can say "we," because He graciously takes a place among the children, yet, in saying "we," it brings in all His own value and excellency into the cry. "I" and "me" may often take up the case of an individual of the remnant; but in case of such an expression as "my people," we clearly get One who stands in another position not merely David. He says (like Moses) to Jehovah, "thy people" ever, and that is all right, but One who, in whatever sorrow, could say, as Jehovah, when spoken of by the Spirit, "my people," and enter into their griefs with divine sympathy, and a righteous call for divine judgment. I apprehend that, though the enemies are the heathen, yet their complete intimacy and affinity with the wicked among the Jewish people is clearly intimated here. The same thing is found in Isaiah 66. They are all melted into one system and state of wickedness.
Note #1

If the title be right, David was not yet king de facto, and the Spirit of Christ in him spoke anticipatively of the title of the anointed one; but evidently in view of another epoch. Note too here all Israel is in view of the desires of faith, though no deliverance even of the Jews be yet accomplished.
