‘Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those who are sailing with you.’

Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies;

in no way alarmed by your opponents—which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God.

Days

If you are slack in the day of distress,
Your strength is limited.

Therefore at such a time the prudent person keeps silent, for it is an evil time.

making the most of your time, because the days are evil.

Iniquity

For my iniquities are gone over my head;
As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.

His own iniquities will capture the wicked,
And he will be held with the cords of his sin.

And they do not consider in their hearts
That I remember all their wickedness.
Now their deeds are all around them;
They are before My face.

Heels

For dogs have surrounded me;

A band of evildoers has encompassed me;

They pierced my hands and my feet.

They

attack, they lurk,

They watch my steps,
As they have waited to take my life.

“Dan shall be a serpent in the way,
A horned snake in the path,
That bites the horse’s heels,
So that his rider falls backward.

Now then, do not let my blood fall to the ground away from the presence of the Lord; for the king of Israel has come out to search for a single flea, just as one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
