Over against the growling of the dogs, the author wants to sing of the Lord’s strength. Over against the prowling dogs in the darkness (Psalm 59:6 and Psalm 59:14), he wants to sing in the morning of the Lord’s faithfulness. He has nothing to do with darkness. His day starts well this way—with the Lord’s name on his lips (over against Psalm 59:12 which mentions the sin, pride, lies, and cursing on the lips of the enemy).
17 Et moi, je chanterai ta force;Dès le matin, je célébrerai ta bonté.Car tu es pour moi une haute retraite,Un refuge au jour de ma détresse.
