For the Lord your God goes with you, fighting for you to give you salvation from those who are against you.

Have I not given you your orders? Take heart and be strong; have no fear and do not be troubled; for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go,

And David said to his son Solomon, Be strong and of a good heart and do your work; have no fear and do not be troubled, for the Lord God, my God, is with you; he will not give you up, and his face will not be turned away from you, till all the work necessary for the house of the Lord is complete.

With him is an arm of flesh; but we have the Lord our God, helping us and fighting for us. And the people put their faith in what Hezekiah, king of Judah, said.

Then he said to them, Go away now, and take the fat for your food and the sweet for your drink, and send some to him for whom nothing is made ready: for this day is holy to our Lord: and let there be no grief in your hearts; for the joy of the Lord is your strong place.

\8:1\O Lord, our Lord, whose glory is higher than the heavens, how noble is your name in all the earth!

\18:28\You, O Lord, will be my light; by you, my God, the dark will be made bright for me.

\18:29\By your help I have made a way through the wall which was shutting me in; by the help of my God I have gone over a wall.

\18:31\For who is God but the Lord? or who is a Rock but our God?

\20:6\Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand.

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.

I had almost given up my hope of seeing the blessing of the Lord in the land of the living.

Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord.

The Lord is my strength and my breastplate, my heart had faith in him and I am helped; for this cause my heart is full of rapture, and I will give him praise in my song.

The Lord is their strength, and a strong place of salvation for his king.

\34:17\The cry of the upright comes before the Lord, and he takes them out of all their troubles.

\34:21\Evil will put an end to the sinner, and those who are haters of righteousness will come to destruction.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he takes delight in his way.

Even if he has a fall he will not be without help: for the hand of the Lord is supporting him.

But the Lord is the saviour of the upright: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

O God, you have been my teacher from the time when I was young; and I have been talking of your works of wonder even till now.

Now when I am old and grey-headed, O God, give me not up; till I have made clear your strength to this generation, and your power to all those to come.

You, who have sent great and bitter troubles on me, will give me life again, lifting me up from the deep waters of the underworld.

You will make me greater than before, and give me comfort on every side.

My flesh and my heart are wasting away: but God is the Rock of my heart and my eternal heritage.

My soul is wasted with sorrow; give me strength again in keeping with your word

Even when trouble is round me, you will give me life; your hand will be stretched out against the wrath of my haters, and your right hand will be my salvation.

\142:2\I put all my sorrows before him; and made clear to him all my trouble.

For you have been a strong place for the poor and the crushed in their trouble, a safe place from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the wrath of the cruel ones is like a winter storm.

He gives power to the feeble, increasing the strength of him who has no force.

But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness.

Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.

The poor and crushed are looking for water where no water is, and their tongue is dry for need of it: I the Lord will give ear to their prayer, I the God of Israel will not give them up.

To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.

For this reason the Lord, the God of armies, has said: Because you have said this, I will make my words in your mouth a fire, and this people wood, and they will be burned up by it.

For the Lord does not give a man up for ever.

For though he sends grief, still he will have pity in the full measure of his love.

Because it is not you who say the words, but the Spirit of your Father in you.

And Jesus, looking at them, said, With men this is not possible; but with God all things are possible.

But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

Now when they saw that Peter and John were without fear, though they were men of no education or learning, they were greatly surprised; and they took note of them that they had been with Jesus.

And we are conscious that all things are working together for good to those who have love for God, and have been marked out by his purpose.

What may we say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

For the word of the cross seems foolish to those who are on the way to destruction; but to us who are on the way to salvation it is the power of God.

And in my preaching there were no honeyed words of wisdom, but I was dependent on the power of the Spirit to make it clear to you:

So that your faith might be based not on man's wisdom but on the power of God.

Be on the watch, unmoved in the faith, and be strong like men.

Not as if we were able by ourselves to do anything for which we might take the credit; but our power comes from God;

(For the arms with which we are fighting are not those of the flesh, but are strong before God for the destruction of high places);

And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.

So I take pleasure in being feeble, in unkind words, in needs, in cruel attacks, in troubles, on account of Christ: for when I am feeble, then am I strong.

That in the wealth of his glory he would make you strong with power through his Spirit in your hearts;

Lastly, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his power.

For I am certain of this very thing, that he by whom the good work was started in you will make it complete till the day of Jesus Christ:

I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.

For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.

If we go on to the end, then we will be ruling with him: if we say we have no knowledge of him, then he will say he has no knowledge of us:

You are of God, my little children, and you have overcome them because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
