14They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And prowl around the city. 15They wander about for food And murmur if they are not satisfied. But as for me, I will sing of Your strength; Yes, I will joyfully sing of Your faithfulness in the morning, For You have been my refuge And a place of refuge on the day of my distress. 17My strength, I will sing praises to You; For God is my refuge, the God who shows me favor.
