Psalm 76

Psalm 76:10
For the wrath of man shall praise You;
With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself.
I'll admit, I'm confused.  How does the wrath of man praise God?  Wrath is generally considered a bad thing.  Man's wrath is usually misdirected, and causes pain and grief.  God's wrath is pure and proper, ours rarely is.  So how would wrath be praise to God?

Also, why would God gird himself with our wrath?  Why use our wrath as a belt?  He definitely doesn't need it.  And again, most of the time our wrath is sin, so why would He use sin to gird himself?  Is that what the remnant of wrath is, the little wrath that is proper?  This one, I have no clue on.
