Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 59:4

"They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: Awake thou to help me, and behold." — Psalms 59:4 (ASV)

They run and prepare. —These words might both be taken in a military sense. For “run,” see Psalms 18:29; Job 15:26; Job 16:14.

Help me. —Literally, as in margin, meet. It is found in a hostile sense, and never in the sense of helping. A suggested emendation, “Awake to my calling, and behold,” removes the difficulty.
