Psalm 59 begins is written after David begins hiding from Saul. Prior to the Psalm, David was given victory over the Philistines, which lead them to flee. David was playing the lyre for King Saul, when Saul tried to kill David with a sphere. David was able to get away from Saul, and escape. When David went home his wife hid him, from Saul’s men who came looking for David. They were instructed to find David, and to bring him to Saul to be killed (1 Samuel 19).
