7 He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will make songs, and give praise.
But whoever gives ear to me will take his rest safely, living in peace without fear of evil.
The upright will be glad in the Lord and have hope in him; and all the lovers of righteousness will give him glory.
I was searching for the Lord, and he gave ear to my voice, and made me free from all my fears.
And so, O men, be of good heart, for I have faith in God that it will be as he said to me.
Let not your heart be troubled: have faith in God and have faith in me.
Have no fear of sudden danger, or of the storm which will come on evil-doers: For the Lord will be your hope, and will keep your foot from being taken in the net.
It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in man. It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in rulers.
Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah.)
In the time of my fear, I will have faith in you. In God will I give praise to his word; in God have I put my hope; I will have no fear of what flesh may do to me.
<Of David.> The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? the Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me? When evil-doers, even my haters, came on me to put an end to me, they were broken and put to shame. Even if an army came against me with its tents, my heart would have no fear: if war was made on me, my faith would not be moved.
By going through all these things, you will keep your lives.
Then Paul said, What are you doing, weeping and wounding my heart? for I am ready, not only to be a prisoner, but to be put to death at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
