What does the Latin POSUI DEUM ADIUTOREM MEUM mean?

POSUI DEUM ADIUTOREM MEUM is Latin for “I have made God my helper”. It’s found on British coins of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I. It may refer to Psalm 52:7, Ecce homo qui non posuit Deum adjutorem suum “Behold the man who did not make God his helper”.
