Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the refuge and fortress of my life—
Whom shall I dread?

God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable],
A very present and well-proved help in trouble.

In God, whose word I praise;
In God I have put my trust;
I shall not fear.
What can mere man do to me?

For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
The Lord bestows grace and favor and honor;
No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.
What can [mere] man do to me?

Therefore, I have not been ashamed or humiliated.
Therefore, I have made My face like flint,
And I know that I shall not be put to shame.

They will fight against you, but they will not [ultimately] prevail over you, for I am with you [always] to protect you and deliver you,” says the Lord.

Therefore my persecutors will stumble and not overcome [me].
They will be completely shamed, for they have not acted wisely and have failed [in their schemes];
Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten.

And I give them eternal life, and they will never, ever [by any means] perish; and no one will ever snatch them out of My hand.

Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God and you belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind].
