Commentary on Psalms 59:3
Theological / DevotionalLie in wait. The enemy is likened to wild beasts, ready to spring upon their prey (see on Ps. 7:2).
My soul. Or, “me” (see on Ps. 16:10). According to the account of 1 1 Sam. 19:11–18, David’s wife, Michal, the daughter of Saul, told David of Saul’s murderous intent, and helped him to escape through a window by night.
The mighty. Or, “fierce ones,” those employed by Saul to carry out his nefarious purpose.
Not for my transgression. The psalmist protests his innocence.
