For thou hast been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

For you have been a strong place for the poor and the crushed in their trouble, a safe place from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the wrath of the cruel ones is like a winter storm.

Διοτι εσταθης δυναμις εις τον πτωχον, δυναμις του ενδεους εν τη στενοχωρια αυτου, καταφυγιον εναντιον της ανεμοζαλης, σκια εναντιον του καυσωνος, οταν το φυσημα των τρομερων προσβαλη ως ανεμοζαλη κατα τοιχου.

For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
