Psalms 59

David prays for deliverance from bloodthirsty enemies who lie in wait for his life without cause, calling upon YHWH Elohei Tzevaot, the God of Israel, to awaken, punish the wicked nations, and show no mercy to traitors.[1][2][6] He trusts YHWH will laugh at them, serve as his fortress and strength, consume them in wrath like prowling dogs, while he sings of YHWH's power and mercy in the morning.[1][2][4]
