1. The conspiracy of David's enemies 59:1-5

59:1-2 David first called out to God in prayer requesting deliverance from his attackers. The men who lay in wait for him intended to murder him.

59:3-4a The beleaguered psalmist explained the reason for his request. Violent men were laying a trap for him even though he had done nothing to deserve their hostility.

594b-5 David again cried out for divine help. He asked Yahweh as the God of armies and the God of Israel to come to his aid. He broadened his request to include his nation that suffered similarly at the hands of hostile Gentile neighbors.
