7 He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in Yahweh.
My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
But whoever listens to me will dwell securely, And will be at ease, without fear of harm."
The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, And shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!
I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
"Don't let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.
Don't be afraid of sudden fear, Neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes: For Yahweh will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being taken.
It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, Than to put confidence in man. It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, Than to put confidence in princes.
Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
> Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? When evil-doers came at me to eat up my flesh, Even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, Even then I will be confident.
Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
