For no fault of my own, they move swiftly to attack me. Arise to help me, and take notice.
David's house was under siege, every escape blocked by Saul's soldiers sent to kill him. His wife Michal contrived the deception that saved him that night, but he rested his hope on God alone; without the wonderful preservation of the Lord, no human artifice could have delivered him from certain death.

Commenting on Psalm 59:1-17
They run and prepare themselves without my fault. They are all alive and active, they are swift to shed blood. They prepare and use their best tactics; they besiege me in my house, and lay their ambuscades as for some notable enemy.
The title of this psalm acquaints us particularly with the occasion on which it was penned; it was when Saul sent a party of his guards to beset David's house in the night, that they might seize him and kill him; we have the story Sa1 19:11. It was when his hostilities against David were newly begun, and he had but just before narrowly escaped Saul's javelin.
