Context of Psalms 59:16
14Those bad people come back to the city every evening. They go from place to place, and they cry out like dogs. 15They go from place to place and they look for food to eat. They will not rest until they are full. But I will sing to praise you. I will sing about your strength! In the morning, I will praise you for your faithful love. Because you are the strong place where I can hide. When I am in trouble, you keep me safe. 17You are the one who gives me strength. I will sing songs to praise you. You, God, are my strong, safe place. You are the God who loves me with a faithful love.
