God has always been your defense; his eternal arms are your support. He drove out your enemies as you advanced, and told you to destroy them all.

The LORD gives strength to his people and blesses them with peace.

How awesome is God as he comes from his sanctuary--- the God of Israel! He gives strength and power to his people. Praise God!

"They will say that only through me are victory and strength to be found; but all who hate me will suffer disgrace.

The LORD roars from Mount Zion; his voice thunders from Jerusalem; earth and sky tremble. But he will defend his people.

But his answer was: "My grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak." I am most happy, then, to be proud of my weaknesses, in order to feel the protection of Christ's power over me.

I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me.

Now give them this answer: 'I swear that as surely as I live, I will do to you just what you have asked. I, the LORD, have spoken.

You will die and your corpses will be scattered across this wilderness. Because you have complained against me, none of you over twenty years of age will enter that land.

God is not like people, who lie; He is not a human who changes his mind. Whatever he promises, he does; He speaks, and it is done.

I was angry and made a solemn promise: 'You will never enter the land where I would have given you rest.' "

I, the LORD, have spoken. The time has come for me to act. I will not ignore your sins or show pity or be merciful. You will be punished for what you have done." The Sovereign LORD has spoken.

If we are not faithful, he remains faithful, because he cannot be false to himself."

which is based on the hope for eternal life. God, who does not lie, promised us this life before the beginning of time,

There are these two things, then, that cannot change and about which God cannot lie. So we who have found safety with him are greatly encouraged to hold firmly to the hope placed before us.
