"When you go to war against your enemies and observe more horses, chariots, and soldiers than you have, don't be afraid of them, for the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt is with you.

The LORD is my light and my salvation whom will I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom will I be afraid?

Don't be afraid, because I'm with you; don't be anxious, because I am your God. I keep on strengthening you; I'm truly helping you. I'm surely upholding you with my victorious right hand."

"I yes, I am the one who comforts you. Who are you, that you are so afraid of humans who will die, descendants of mere men, who have been made like grass?

Hence we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?"
