Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.

Study note
Setting — The psalmist addresses God immediately after describing His rise to judge and save the earth’s lowly, just before commanding vows and noting neighboring tribute.
The words — The text distinguishes חֲמַ֣ת (cha.Mat), meaning the anger, from חֵמֹ֣ת (che.Mot), meaning angers, while תַּחְגֹּֽר (tach.Gor) literally denotes you will gird on or clothe Yourself.
The thread — This pattern of God directing hostile forces toward His ends appears in Romans 9:17 and Daniel 3:19, while the preservation of a remnant echoes the truncation of judgment for the elect in Matthew 24:22.
Why it lands — The text demands recognition that human hostility does not escape divine calculation, and it requires the reader to acknowledge that God’s judgment operates as a filter that leaves a protected remnant.

Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
