1 Chronicles 17:21

Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

One man of you shall chase a thousand; for it is Yahweh your God who fights for you, as he spoke to you.

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.

‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

Or has God tried to go and take a nation for himself from among another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand, by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.

Yahweh is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

“I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

“Behold, I send an angel before you, to keep you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God. Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.

Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great terror, with signs, and with wonders;

and he said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keeps covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;

Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.

He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise Yah!

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”

“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days,” says the Lord; “I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

I will reach out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do among them, and after that he will let you go.

Therefore tell the children of Israel, ‘I am Yahweh, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments.

Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.”

and in the wilderness where you have seen how that Yahweh your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place.”

but because Yahweh loves you, and because he desires to keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, Yahweh has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Know therefore that Yahweh your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,

I prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Lord Yahweh, don’t destroy your people and your inheritance that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.”

He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.

There was no day like that before it or after it, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man; for Yahweh fought for Israel.

They put away the foreign gods from among them and served Yahweh; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

but you shall fear Yahweh, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, and you shall bow yourselves to him, and you shall sacrifice to him.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy!

He will redeem Israel from all their sins.

But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.

I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation.

“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people;

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,

I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.” ’

But Pharaoh will not listen to you, so I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring out my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.

but indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth,

and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. Yahweh his God is with him. The shout of a king is among them.

You shall not be scared of them; for Yahweh your God is among you, a great and awesome God.

You are happy, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by Yahweh, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency? Your enemies will submit themselves to you. You will tread on their high places.”

I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them! Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Yahweh. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.

In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.

But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord Yahweh my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn’t destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn’t stir up all his wrath.

Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you, therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.

Seek Yahweh while he may be found. Call on him while he is near.

“Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes!” says Yahweh of Armies.

and brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, with wonders, with a strong hand, with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;

For what great nation is there that has a god so near to them as Yahweh our God is whenever we call on him?

You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you. Therefore I command you this thing today.

Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time because Yahweh, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.

What one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make himself a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeemed to yourself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

and said, “I beg you, Yahweh, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments:

and showed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, and against all his servants, and against all the people of his land; for you knew that they dealt proudly against them, and made a name for yourself, as it is today.

By awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our salvation. You who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, of those who are far away on the sea.

You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph.

Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome!

When you did awesome things which we didn’t look for, you came down, and the mountains quaked at your presence.

who performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and among other men; and made yourself a name, as it is today;

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
