My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth!
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I will help you.”
But the Lord is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble, they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten.
I will destroy you, O Israel; who can help you?
Hence we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid; what can man do to me?”
