Psalms 59:15

13 Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Selah

14 They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.

They scavenge for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.

16 But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

17 To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
