English term or phrase: The Lord is my Rock
From a personal view
kelly
الله مُعتمدي
Explanation:
It's pronounced like (Allahu Mu'tamadi). This, of course, is not a literal translation, because it would be strange to an Arabic ear to translate it literally. The Arabic phrase means: My dependence is on God.

الرب صخرتي


Explanation:
Pronounced Al Rabbou Sakhrati. This sentence is frequently mentioned in the bible. The word Sakhrati ( rock ) gives the same impact in Arabic as in English and the sentence means: I shouldn't fear anything because the Lord is my strong foundation.

الله عمادي


Explanation:
If God is my rock means: God is the one I lean on.
Then " Allaahu عemaadi" should be a good translation.
" Allaahu" means: God
"عemaadi" means: my support.

Among the meaning of عemaad in the "Larousse: Al Moعgam Al Araby Al Assaasi" : all that which supports.

The "a " sound is like in aplle
The "aa" sound is twice as long
The "u " sound is like in : who
The "i" sound is like in : me
