What does Psalms Chapter 59 say, and which statements belong to its speaker?

The Latin incipit is Deus, repulisti nos. The separate heading anticipates Christ's church prevailing after afflictions. The inscription is for those to be changed, David and doctrine, when he set fire to Mesopotamia of Syria and Sobal and Joab returned and slew twelve thousand Edomites in the vale of saltpits. The speaker says God cast them off and destroyed them, was angry and had mercy. He asks healing for earth's breaches after its movement, recalls hard things and the wine of sorrow, and a warning given to fearers so they may flee before the bow and the beloved be delivered. He asks saving by the right hand and hearing.

God has spoken in His holy place; the text continues with rejoicing, future division of Sichem and measuring the vale of tabernacles. Galaad and Manasses are called mine, Ephraim the strength of my head and Juda my king, not helmet and scepter. Moab is the pot of my hope, a shoe will be stretched into Edom and foreigners are subject. Separate commentary explains watering pot and meaner uses and identifies foreigners as Philistines with no kinship, unlike Edomites and Moabites originally of the same family. The sequence is retained without resolving every first-person statement into a newly certified divine speaker.

The speaker asks who brings him into the strong city and leads into Edom, whether God who cast them off will go with armies. He requests help because human salvation is vain, and says through God they shall do mightily and He shall bring afflicters to nothing. No particular alliance rejection, completed campaign outcome or guarantee of every future military victory is narrated.
