Psaume 59:16 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 59:16

But I will sing of thy power
In creating all things out of nothing; in upholding all things in being; in the redemption of his people; in their conversion and calling; in the preservation of them to eternal happiness; in the performance of his promises to them; in the destruction of their enemies; and in their protection:

yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning;
of providential mercies, which are new every morning; and of special mercy in the heart of God, in the covenant of his grace, in redemption, in regeneration, in the pardon of sin, and in eternal life and salvation;

for thou hast been my defence; (See Gill on Psalms 59:9);

and refuge in the day of my trouble;
whither he fled, and found protection and safety; (See Gill on Psalms 9:9).

Psaume 59:16 In-Context

14 Ils reviennent chaque soir, ils hurlent comme des chiens, Ils font le tour de la ville.
15 Ils errent çà et là, cherchant leur nourriture, Et ils passent la nuit sans être rassasiés.
16 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.
17 O ma force! c'est toi que je célébrerai, Car Dieu, mon Dieu tout bon, est ma haute retraite.
