Psalm 59:15 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 59.

11 Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.

12 By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.

13 Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Selah

14 They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.

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.

17 To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.
