God the Rescuer

In Psalm 59, one word is repeated over and over: rescue.

And of the many titles one can place on God, this Psalm gives him the moniker of the Rescuer.

The first two verses asks God to both rescue and protect us from our enemies, criminals, murders.  Our enemies are fierce, laying in wait for us, preparing their attack.

But God will punish our enemies and rescue us from their attacks.

Their attacks can come in a variety of forms, from the physical to verbal.  An interesting verse, twelve, says, "let them be captured by their pride."  Their own arrogance will be their downfall.

In the final verse, seventeen, God is our refuge and He shows us His unfailing love.
