Psalms 59:16-17

[16] But I will sing  of thy power;  yea, I will sing aloud  of thy mercy  in the morning:  for thou hast been my defence  and refuge  in the day  of my trouble.  [17] Unto thee, O my strength,  will I sing:  for God  is my defence,  and the God  of my mercy. 

What does Psalms 59:16-17 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

In contrast to their behavior, the psalmist voiced his confident trust that God would frustrate his antagonists, as He had done often in the past. He looked forward to singing praises to the Lord for His strength, loyal love, and protection.
Even when our spiritual enemies threaten our security, we who are believers can trust in the Lord with great confidence. He will allow nothing to separate us from His love (cf. Romans 8:31-39). As we go through attacks, we should not only strengthen ourselves with reminders of His complete adequacy as our resource, but we should also pray for His glory.
