⁴ For thou hast been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat; for the blast of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,

⁴ For You have been a defense for the helpless , A defense for the needy in his distress , A refuge from the storm , a shade from the heat ; For the breath of the ruthless Is like a rain storm against a wall .
