But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 59 of Psalms. Psalm 59 describes a persecution in which enemies watch the psalmist’s house and wait for his downfall. The prayer asks God not only to protect him, but to make his rule visible among the nations. Images of dogs roaming the city emphasize the constant threat. Against them, the psalmist repeatedly declares that God is his strength and refuge, transforming danger into a permanent reason for song.

Sie laufen hin und her um Speise und murren, wenn sie nicht satt werden.
Yo empero cantaré tu fortaleza, Y loaré de mañana tu misericordia: Porque has sido mi amparo Y refugio en el día de mi angustia.
Pero yo cantaré de tu fuerza; al amanecer celebraré con alegría tu amor leal, porque has sido para mí una fortaleza y un refugio en el día de mi angustia.
Et moi, je chanterai ta force; Dès le matin, je célébrerai ta bonté. Car tu es pour moi une haute retraite, Un refuge au jour de ma détresse.
Ma io canterò la tua potenza, E la mattina loderò ad alta voce la tua benignità; Perciocchè tu mi sei stato alto ricetto E rifugio, nel giorno che sono stato distretto.
Eu, porém, cantarei a tua força; pela manhã louvarei com alegria a tua misericórdia; porquanto tu foste o meu alto refúgio, e proteção no dia da minha angústia.
但我要歌頌你的能力, 早晨要高唱你的慈愛; 因為你是我的庇護所, 在急難的日子作過我的避難所。
