“Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel” (Psalm 128:3-6).

God promises deliverance from troubles . . .
“For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance” (Psalm 32:6, 7).
It should be understand that trials come into the believer's life, sent from God as an agent for strengthening our faith. What we may see as horrible, is likely, in fact, designed for our eternal good. This life is short indeed, compared to the eternity that these tests of our faith are preparing us for.
This is why Paul could tell us to "Rejoice in the Lord alway, and again I say, rejoice!"
So there is a vast difference between troubles, and trials, which are designed for our good.
