David
Psalm 59:16ESV·superscription

But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress.

John Calvin Reformed

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

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist

Wicked men prowl about like starving dogs, snapping at shadows, never satisfied, never giving up the hunt. They cannot accept defeat and so they rage on; and this restless fury that burns in them now will be their torment forever in hell, where the lost rage endlessly against God and His truth.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist

While the wicked howl in darkness, I will sing of His omnipotence, and when the morning breaks and their midnight shrieks fade away, my voice will rise without fear. The greater my trials now, the louder my songs of gratitude will be, for God has been my fortress through it all.
