Psalms 59:17
15 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.
To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
