Gill's Notes on the Bible
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,....
:-;
and save me from bloody men; such as Saul sent to kill David, as appears from the title of the psalm; and such as were concerned in the death of Christ; and such, are the enemies of God's people, the followers of the man of sin. The heap of words, the various expressions used in a way of petition, in this verse and Psalms 59:1, show the distress the psalmist was in, and whom he represents; his importunity, earnestness, and fervency in prayer.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity - The workers of iniquity here referred to were Saul and those whom he employed to carry out his murderous purpose - the people that had been sent to slay him.
And save me from bloody men - Hebrew, “Men of bloods;” that is, men whose trade is blood; who seek to shed my blood, or who seek my life. See Psalms 5:6, note; Psalms 26:9, note; Psalms 55:23, note.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 59:2. The workers of iniquity — Principally Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian; who were the chief enemies of the poor returned captives.
Bloody men. — The above, who sought the destruction of the Israelites; and particularly, that of Nehemiah, whom four several times they endeavoured to bring into an ambush, that they might take away his life. See Nehemiah 6:1-4.
