Protection and safetyStrength and help in weaknessTrials and adversityGod's presence
Gud er vår tilflukt og styrke,
En hjelp i nødens stund, alltid nær.

Og fjellene styrter i havets dyp;

3 Om vannene bruser og skummer,
Om fjellene skjelver ved dets stolte bølger.

God is a refuge and strength, a help in trouble who is always there. The psalmist does not say that trouble stays away, but that God is present in the middle of it.
