Commentary on Psalms 59:16

Theological / Devotional

But I. In sharp contrast with the enemies of v. 15.

Power. Heb. ‘oz, “strength” in v. 9.

In the morning. Seemingly contrasted with “at evening” (vs. 6, 14).

Refuge. Or, “place of escape.” Although the psalmist used means of his own to effect his escape (see 1 Sam. 19:12), he rightly attributed his deliverance to divine mercy.
