Psalm 59:15

God Our Stronghold

¹⁴ And they return at evening, snarling like dogs
and prowling around the city.
¹⁵ They scavenge for food;
they growl if they are not satisfied. ¹⁶ But I will sing of Your strength
and will joyfully proclaim
Your faithful love in the morning.
For You have been a stronghold for me,
a refuge in my day of trouble.
