Psalm 59

Psalm 59

Written “when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him,” David uses canine imagery to describe being hunted. And yet, in his peril he is confident in God, his fortress, who shows him steadfast love (Psalm 59:16-17)

To sing Psalm 59 we set lyrics by Jim Sayers (©Jim Sayers/Praise Trust) to an original melody and refrain.
