“When you go out to war against your enemies and see horses, chariots, and an army larger than yours, do not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, is with you.

Davidic.The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom should I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom should I be afraid?

Do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you; I will help you;
I will hold on to you with My righteous right hand.

I—I am the One who comforts you.
Who are you that you should fear man who dies,
or a son of man who is given up like grass?

What then are we to say about these things?
If God is for us, who is against us?

Therefore, we may boldly say:

The Lord is my helper;
I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
