hide text
59:14-15 Returning to the thought of his enemies behaving like wild dogs (vv. 6-7) David reminded the Lord of their vicious attacks.
59:16-17 In contrast to their behavior the psalmist voiced his confident trust that God would frustrate his antagonists, as He had done often in the past. He looked forward to singing praises to the Lord for His strength, loyal love, and protection.
Even when our spiritual enemies threaten our security believers can trust in the Lord with great confidence. He will allow nothing to separate us from His love (cf. Rom. 8:31-39). As we go through attacks, we should not only strengthen ourselves with reminders of His complete adequacy as our resource, but we should also pray for His glory.
