18 Whoever rebels against your commandment and disobeys your words, whatever you command him, shall be put to death. wOnly be strong and courageous.”
The Lord Is My Light and My Salvation
Of David.
1 The Lord is my hlight and my isalvation;
jwhom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold1 of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
29 He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.
30 Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
31 but lthey who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings mlike eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
26 iMy flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is jthe strength1 of my heart and my kportion lforever.
God’s Everlasting Love
31 What then shall we say to these things? pIf God is for us, who can be1 against us?
6 kThe Lord is on my side; lI will not fear.
What can man do to me?
5 Through you we npush down our foes;
through your name we otread down those who rise up against us.
37 No, in all these things we are more than yconquerors through zhim who loved us.
16 gold, silver, bronze, and iron. Arise and work! kThe Lord be with you!”
