My God, my1 strength, ain whom I will trust;
My shield and the1 horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
And cried out to my God;
He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.
The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken,
Because He was angry.
| << Psalms 18:3 | Psalms 18:5 >> |
