כִּֽי

that/for/because/then/when

If the connection between this statement and the previous one is not clear, you may want to use a connecting word to show how this statement relates to what came before it. Use a natural form in your language for connecting this statement to the previous one. Alternate translation: “This is because ”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אַתָּ֤ה ׀ אֱלֹהֵ֣י מָֽעוּזִּ⁠י֮

you(ms) god refuge,my

Here, the author is using the possessive form to describe how God is like a fortification to him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “You are like a fortification to me O God”
