Psalms 59:16
14 They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
15 They scavenge for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.
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.
