The psalm that gave the church A Mighty Fortress opens here: God as amparo, the shelter you run to, and as pronto auxilio, help that is already on the way.
Here is the whole verse in the Reina-Valera with the English underneath, read aloud by a real voice at full speed and slow.
Psalm 46:1 · Salmo 46:1
Dios es nuestro amparo y fortaleza, nuestro pronto auxilio en las tribulaciones.God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.
