Gill's Notes on the Bible
The God of my mercy shall prevent me,.... Or "of my grace", or "goodness", as the Targum; see 1 Peter 5:10. God is gracious in himself, and he has treasured up a fulness of grace in Christ: he is the donor of all the blessings of grace in the covenant; and the author of all internal grace in the hearts of his people; and who supplies them with more grace as they want it; and he is the Father of all temporal and spiritual mercies. The "Cetib", or writing, is חסדו, "his mercy"; the "Keri", or reading, is חסדי, "my mercy"; grace or mercy is the Lord's; it is his own, which he disposes of as he pleases; being given and applied, it is the believer's; all the grace and mercy in the heart of God, in his Son, and in his covenant, is the saints', which he keeps for them with Christ for evermore; "the God of my mercy", or "grace", is the same with "my merciful", or "my gracious God"; who goes before his people, as he does the Messiah, with the blessings of his goodness, Psalms 21:3. It may be rendered, "hath came before me"; and denote the antiquity of his love, being before his people's to him, and the early provisions of his grace and mercy for them: or "doth prevent me": expressing the freeness of it; he not waiting for any duties, services, or conditions to be performed, but bestows his grace and mercy, notwithstanding much unworthiness: or "shall come before me"; designing the seasonable and timely application of mercy come before his fears, as it sometimes does the prayers of his people, Isaiah 65:24;
God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies; expressed in the following verses, Psalms 59:11; or "vengeance upon them"; as the Targum paraphrases it; see Psalms 58:10.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The God of my mercy shall prevent me - Or rather, “My God - his mercy shall prevent me.” This is in accordance with the present reading of the Hebrew text, and is probably correct. The psalmist looks to God as his God, and then the feeling at once springs up that his mercy - favor - his loving-kindness - “would” “prevent” him. On the word “prevent” see the notes at Psalms 21:3; compare Psalms 17:13; Psalms 18:5. The meaning here is, that God would “go before him,” or would “anticipate” his necessities.
God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies - That is, He will let me see them discomfited, and disappointed in their plans. This is equivalent to saying that God would give him the victory, or would not suffer them to triumph over him. See the notes at Psalms 54:7.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 59:10. The God of my mercy shall prevent me — The mercy of God shall go before me, and thus help me in all my doings.
God shall let me see my desire] The sentence is short. God will let me see concerning my enemies, i.e., how he will treat them.
