Psalms 59 — Unto Thee, O My Strength, Will I Sing
Summary
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God. They are mighty gathered against me. They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them. Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.

Key doctrines
Singing Aloud of His Mercy in the Morning
Psalm 59:16 · Psalm 30:5 · Lamentations 3:23
Application
Verse 16 is the morning practice. Sing — aloud — of His mercy. The voice declares the night is over.
Christ in this chapter
Christ's resurrection was in the morning (Mark 16:9). The morning song is the church's default since.
Sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning. Not the muted singing of routine — aloud. The deliverance produces volume.
A pattern. Trouble in the night; song in the morning.
