I will not be afraid, because the Lord is with me. People can’t do anything to me.
They are confident and will not be afraid; they will look down on their enemies.
Happy are those who are helped by the God of Jacob. Their hope is in the Lord their God.
Even if I walk through a very dark valley, I will not be afraid, because you are with me. Your rod and your shepherd’s staff comfort me.
God is our protection and our strength. He always helps in times of trouble.
The Lord All-Powerful is with us; the God of Jacob is our defender.Selah
I praise God for his word to me; I praise the Lord for his word.
I trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can people do to me?
God, I must keep my promises to you. I will give you my offerings to thank you,
I praise God for his word. I trust God, so I am not afraid. What can human beings do to me?
All day long they twist my words; all their evil plans are against me.
On the day I call for help, my enemies will be defeated. I know that God is on my side.
Who will help me fight against the wicked? Who will stand with me against those who do evil?
The Lord says, “I am the one who comforts you. So why should you be afraid of people, who die? Why should you fear people who die like the grass?
But the Lord is with me like a strong warrior, so those who are chasing me will trip and fall; they will not defeat me. They will be ashamed because they have failed, and their shame will never be forgotten.
So what should we say about this? If God is for us, no one can defeat us.
So we can be sure when we say, “I will not be afraid, because the Lord is my helper. People can’t do anything to me.”
When Saul and the Israelites heard the Philistine’s words, they were very scared.
The Lord who saved me from a lion and a bear will save me from this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go, and may the Lord be with you.”
