Verse 17 is found in chapter 106 of Psalms. Psalm 106 reviews Israel’s history from a penitential perspective. The people repeatedly acknowledge that their ancestors forgot God’s works, rebelled, worshiped idols, and adopted the practices of the nations. Yet divine compassion and intervention during times of crisis are also emphasized. The final prayer asks for the scattered people to be gathered again and concludes with a doxology closing the fourth book of the Psalter.

Die Erde tat sich auf und verschlang Dathan und deckte zu die Rotte Abirams,
Abriose la tierra, y tragó a Dathán, Y cubrió la compañía de Abiram.
La tierra se abrió y se tragó a Datán; se cerró sobre la compañía de Abiram.
La terre s'ouvrit et engloutit Dathan, Et elle se referma sur la troupe d'Abiram;
La terra si aperse, e tranghiottì Datan, E coperse il seguito di Abiram.
Abriu-se a terra, e engoliu a Datã, e cobriu o grupo de Abirão.
地就裂開,吞下 大坍 , 掩蓋 亞比蘭 一夥的人。
