2 Samuel 22:19

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.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.

There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death.
