John Gill Commentary Psalms 59:15

"They shall wander up and down for food, And tarry all night if they be not satisfied." — Psalms 59:15 (ASV)

Let them wander up and down for meat
Like hungry dogs;

and grudge if they be not satisfied ;
or murmur and howl as dogs when hungry, and can find nothing to eat; or "when they shall not be satisfied, and shall lodge" ^F26 ; when they shall get nothing to satisfy their hungry appetite, and shall go to bed without a supper, and lie all night without food.

The Targum is, "they shall wander about to seize the prey to eat, and will not rest till the are satisfied, and will lie all night;" that is, in quest of prey.
