He has human power, but we have the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles." The people were encouraged by these words of their king.

Leave your troubles with the LORD, and he will defend you; he never lets honest people be defeated.

Trust in God at all times, my people. Tell him all your troubles, for he is our refuge.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know.

Remember the LORD in everything you do, and he will show you the right way.

God is our shelter and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

More than once I have heard God say that power belongs to him

He rules forever by his might and keeps his eyes on the nations. Let no rebels rise against him.

The LORD is king. He is clothed with majesty and strength. The earth is set firmly in place and cannot be moved.

Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which can never be shaken, never be moved.

Do not bring us to hard testing, but keep us safe from the Evil One.'

Israel, you have forgotten the God who rescues you and protects you like a mighty rock. Instead, you plant sacred gardens in order to worship a foreign god.

"The LORD is your mighty defender, perfect and just in all his ways; Your God is faithful and true; he does what is right and fair.

"The LORD's people grew rich, but rebellious; they were fat and stuffed with food. They abandoned God their Creator and rejected their mighty savior.

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.
