Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”

But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

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

The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
