Psalms 59:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

His strength, i.e. Saul's strength; because he is too strong for me. Or rather, O my strength, as it is Psalms 59:17. And all those ancient and venerable translators, the LXX., and Chaldee, and vulgar Latin, render it my strength. In the Hebrew it is his strength, i.e. David s. For David speaks of himself in the third person, as he oft doth. And such sudden changes of persons are usual, both in these poetical books (as hath been noted before) and elsewhere, as Daniel 9:4 Micah 1:2.
