Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
Even when people are angry and act against you, it will end up bringing you praise. You will hold back and control whatever anger remains.
God is so powerful that even human anger and opposition ultimately serve His purposes and bring Him glory.
