Verse 17 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.

Ich aber will von deiner Macht singen und des Morgens rühmen deine Güte; denn du bist mir Schutz und Zuflucht in meiner Not.
Fortaleza mía, a ti cantaré; Porque eres Dios de mi amparo, Dios de mi misericordia.
Fuerza mía, te cantaré alabanzas, porque Dios es mi fortaleza, el Dios que me muestra amor leal.
O ma force! c'est toi que je célébrerai, Car Dieu, mon Dieu tout bon, est ma haute retraite.
O mia forza, io ti salmeggerò; Perciocchè Iddio è il mio alto ricetto, l’Iddio mio benigno
A ti, ó fortaleza minha, cantarei salmos; porque Deus é a minha defesa e o Deus da minha misericórdia.
我的力量啊,我要歌頌你; 因為上帝是我的庇護所, 是賜恩給我的上帝。
