6 In my sad anguish I did call ‖ on the ETERNAL God; ‖ and with my voice I made a cry ‖ to Him that is my God. ‖ He from the Temple where He dwells ‖ did hearken to my voice; ‖ and my cry came before His Face; ‖ it came into His Ears. ‖
7 Then the Earth shook, and trembled fore; ‖ and of the mountains then ‖ were the foundations moved and shocked; ‖ because He was displeased. ‖
