Psalm 59:15

God Our Stronghold

¹⁴ They return at evening, they howl like a dog,
And go around the city.
¹⁵ They wander about for food
And growl if they are not satisfied.
¹⁶ But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength;
Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For You have been my stronghold
And a refuge in the day of my distress.
