PA490 Psalm 59:1-17 mp3

In this psalm, David writes when Saul sent his soldiers to arrest and assassinate David, his own son-in-law. David looks at these soldiers as dogs, foreigners to Israel, and barking out threats and swearing against God’s anointed David. He calls on God to leave them disappointed, like dogs to moan and lick their wounds. He asks God not to kill them all, but to leave them to remind His people of what happens to men like this.
