English term or phrase: He was badly shaken
Faith must rest on the daily meditation of God's word. Joshua is an example. He had his success at Jericho, which boosted his faith, but then he failed at Ai. ***He was badly shaken***. He had to turn to God and remember again the Word of the Lord to Moses. God showed him he must not turn from the Word of God either to the right or to the left. Then he had victory.

agree  Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT: Todas me gustan. Personalmente me habría gustado más «turbado» (no «perturbado» como pusieron algunos), pero "conmocionado" me parece estupendo aquí.
