Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
Jeg vil be til Herren. Han er verd å bli priset. Da ble jeg befridd fra mine fiender. Dødsfarlige bølger kom mot meg. Jeg ble skremt av all den ondskap og mangel på gudsrespekt som slo imot meg. Dødsrikets bånd strammet seg rundt meg. Jeg ble truet av dødens feller. I min nød ba jeg til Herren og ropte til min Gud. Fra sitt tempel hørte Han min bønn, og mine rop nådde Hans ører.
