People of Israel, no god is like your God, riding in splendor across the sky, riding through the clouds to come to your aid.

Israel, how happy you are! There is no one like you, a nation saved by the LORD. The LORD himself is your shield and your sword, to defend you and give you victory. Your enemies will come begging for mercy, and you will trample them down.

How I love you, LORD! You are my defender.

The LORD is my protector; he is my strong fortress. My God is my protection, and with him I am safe. He protects me like a shield; he defends me and keeps me safe.

The LORD is my light and my salvation; I will fear no one. The LORD protects me from all danger; I will never be afraid.

Even if a whole army surrounds me, I will not be afraid; even if enemies attack me, I will still trust God.

We put our hope in the LORD; he is our protector and our help.

Trust in the LORD, all you that worship him. He helps you and protects you.

Don't put your trust in human leaders; no human being can save you.

Do not be afraid---I am with you! I am your God---let nothing terrify you! I will make you strong and help you; I will protect you and save you.

The LORD says, "Small and weak as you are, Israel, don't be afraid; I will help you. I, the holy God of Israel, am the one who saves you.

In view of all this, what can we say? If God is for us, who can be against us?

I trust in God and am not afraid; I praise him for what he has promised. What can a mere human being do to me?

In him I trust, and I will not be afraid. What can a mere human being do to me?

O God, I will offer you what I have promised; I will give you my offering of thanksgiving,

The LORD is with me, I will not be afraid; what can anyone do to me?

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered, "Your Majesty, we will not try to defend ourselves.

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather be afraid of God, who can destroy both body and soul in hell.

"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot afterward do anything worse.

I will show you whom to fear: fear God, who, after killing, has the authority to throw into hell. Believe me, he is the one you must fear!
