My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 144 of Psalms. Psalm 144 presents God as the one who equips the king for battle and recognizes human beings as fragile and fleeting. The request for divine intervention includes cosmic phenomena and the defeat of enemies, but then broadens into a vision of national prosperity: children, full granaries, numerous flocks, and freedom from invasion. The conclusion identifies true happiness with having the Lord as God, not merely with enjoying prosperity.

meine Güte und meine Burg, mein Schutz und mein Erretter, mein Schild, auf den ich traue, der mein Volk unter mich zwingt.
Misericordia mía y mi castillo, Altura mía y mi libertador, Escudo mío, en quien he confiado; El que allana mi pueblo delante de mí.
Él es quien me muestra amor leal; es mi fortaleza, mi refugio elevado y mi libertador, mi escudo en quien me refugio; él somete a mi pueblo debajo de mí.
Mon bienfaiteur et ma forteresse, Ma haute retraite et mon libérateur, Mon bouclier, celui qui est mon refuge, Qui m'assujettit mon peuple!
Egli è la mia benignità e la mia fortezza; Il mio alto ricetto ed il mio liberatore; Egli è il mio scudo, ed io mi confido in lui; Egli è quello che abbatte i popoli sotto me.
Benignidade minha e fortaleza minha; alto retiro meu e meu libertador és tu; escudo meu, em quem eu confio, e que me sujeita o meu povo.
他是我慈愛的主、我的山寨、 我的碉堡、我的救主、 我的盾牌,是我所投靠的。 他使我的百姓 服在我以下。
