Псалми 18
1 Љубићу Те, Господе, крепости моја,
For the end, [a Psalm] of David, the servant of the Lord; [the words] which he spoke to the Lord, [even] the words of this Song, in the day in which the Lord delivered him out the hand of all his enemies, and out the hand of Saul: and he said: I will love you, O Lord, my strength.
2 Господе, Граде мој, Заклоне мој, који се оборити не може, Избавитељу мој, Боже мој, Камена горо, на којој се не бојим зла, Штите мој, Роже спасења мог, Уточиште моје!
The Lord is my firm support, and my refuge, and my deliverer; my God is my helper, I will hope in him; [he is] my defender, and the horn of my salvation, and my helper.

The pangs of hell came round about me: the snares of death prevented me. (Sheol h7585)

Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and were shaken, because God was angry with them.
