You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor.

Then the whole world will know
that God reigns in Israel.[b] Interlude
14 My enemies come out at night,

as they prowl the streets.
15 They scavenge for food
but go to sleep unsatisfied.[c]
16 But as for me, I will sing about your power.
Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.

I will wake the dawn with my song. Psalm 57:6-8
