Psalms 59:16 (KJ21)
But I will sing of Thy power, yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning; for Thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.

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.

Psalms 59:16 (NLT)
But as for me, I will sing about your power. I will shout with joy each morning because of your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety in the day of distress.

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 and His dual sided nature, 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.
