Psalms 59:16 (NAS)
But
as for me, I shall sing of Thy strength; Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Thy
lovingkindness in the morning, For Thou hast been my stronghold, And a refuge
in the day of my distress.
Psalms 59:16 (NIVUS)
But
I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you
are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
Adonai, the
Lord God, is strong and powerful. He is a God of majesty, force, and might, and
yet He is full of mercy, goodness, and kindness. He shows you His beauty and
favor. He loves you and does not shame nor reproach you.
When you think of the character of God, you are filled with joy. In your rejoicing before the Lord, you cry out with loud shouts of triumph. As you go about in your travels, you sing with joy, for Almighty God loves and cares for you. His praises are on your lips at the break of day.
In His love and mercy, Yahweh the Lord has made Himself a high fort and refuge for you. He makes you inaccessible to your enemies, for you are sheltered behind His strong, powerful walls. In Him you are safe and exalted. When you need to escape, flee to the Most High. When your foes are hot on your heels and you are surrounded with troubles, retreat to the Lord your God; He is your strong tower.
