You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.

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.

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.

Yahweh will give strength to his people. Yahweh will bless his people with peace.

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my God.

David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
