Original text and translations

Latin text Deus adiutor fortis in oportunitate, nulla formido mihi. Homo nihil nocebit. Deus adiutor fortis in tribulatione. Quis est quem formidabo quando Deus tuetur?

German translation Gott ist ein starker Helfer zur rechten Zeit, [daher] habe ich keine Furcht. Kein Mensch wird mir schaden. Gott ist ein starker Helfer in der Not. Wen soll ich fürchten, wenn Gott [mich] schützt?

English translation God is a strong helper at the right time: nothing shall I fear. No man will harm me. God is a strong helper in time of need. Whom should I fear if God protects me?
