PSALM 46
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved,
And though the mountains be toppled into the depths of the sea.
Though its waters rage and foam and though the mountains tremble at its tumult.
The Lord of Hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Come now and look upon the works of the Lord, what awesome things He has done on the earth.
It is He who makes wars to cease in all the world. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear, and burns the shields with fire.
Be still then and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.
The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
PS 27:1 Version 1
The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
Ps 27:1-6, Version 2
The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh [or to devour my mind], my adversaries and enemies, they stumbled and fell. Though a host encamp against me, my heart will not fear. Though war arise against me, in spite of this I shall be confident.
One thing I have desired of the Lord, that I will seek, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in His temple. For in the time of trouble He will hide me in His pavilion, in the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me. He shall set me high upon a rock.
And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me. Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle. I will sing, yes I will sing praises to the Lord.
2 Tim 1:17
God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind.
Is. 26:3
You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.
Ps 34: 4, 6,
I sought the Lord and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. This poor man cried and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles.
Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God, ( I will praise His word), in God I have put my trust. I will not fear. What can man do to me? What can the devil do to me? (Ps. 56: 3,4) In God I have put my trust, I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
vs. 11
...my soul trusts in You; and in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities have passed by. Ps. 57: 1
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. Fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears has not been perfected in love. 1 John 4: 18
When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul. Ps. 94: 19
Phil 4: 6, 7
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God's peace, which transcends all understanding, shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Ps. 121: 7
The Lord will protect you from all evil, the Lord will preserve your soul. The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in from this day forward.
Isaiah 54:11, 14, 17
O you afflicted one, tossed with tempest and not comforted, behold I will set your stones with colorful gems and lay your foundations with sapphires.
In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear, and from terror for it shall not come near you.
Behold, I have created the blacksmith who blows the coals in the fire, who brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the spoiler to destroy.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their vindication is from me, says the Lord.
Strong's definition:
No apparatus, armor, or any weapon formed against me shall prosper, advance, break out, make progress, or be caused to succeed. Every tongue - whether it be man or beast, fire to burn, water to drown, any evil gossip or wedge that would arise - come on the scene, trying to establish itself, impose itself, erect, arouse or stir up against me, I condemn, cause and declare it guilty and wrong and it is departed from me. This is my heritage, portion and possession as a servant and child of the King - belonging to the kingdom of my heavenly Father. And my God says, "This righteousness and justice is of me - you are vindicated and you will prosper."
Joshua 1:9 NASB
Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.
PS 91
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust." For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper, and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you may seek refuge. His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark. You will not be afraid of the terror by night, or of the arrow that flies by day, of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or of the destruction that lays waste at noon. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not approach you.
IS. 41: 10
Fear not for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Behold, all those who were incensed against you shall be ashamed and disgraced. They shall be as nothing, and those who strive with you shall perish. You shall seek them and not find them-those who contended with you, those who war against you shall be as nothing, as a nonexistent thing.
For I, the Lord Your God will hold your right hand, saying to you, fear not, I will help you.
