Psalms 73:18-28
Surely you put them in slippery places; you bring them down to ruin.How desolate they become in a mere moment! Terrifying judgments make their demise complete!They are like a dream after one wakes up. O Lord, when you awake you will despise them.Yes, my spirit was bitter, and my insides felt sharp pain.I was ignorant and lacked insight; I was as senseless as an animal before you.But I am continually with you; you hold my right hand.You guide me by your wise advice, and then you will lead me to a position of honor.Whom do I have in heaven but you? I desire no one but you on earth.My flesh and my heart may grow weak, but God always protects my heart and gives me stability.Yes, look! Those far from you die; you destroy everyone who is unfaithful to you.But as for me, God’s presence is all I need. I have made the sovereign LORD my shelter, as I declare all the things you have done.

When you go to war against your enemies and see chariotry and troops who outnumber you, do not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, is with you.As you move forward for battle, the priest will approach and say to the soldiers,“ Listen, Israel! Today you are moving forward to do battle with your enemies. Do not be fainthearted. Do not fear and tremble or be terrified because of them,for the LORD your God goes with you to fight on your behalf against your enemies to give you victory.”Moreover, the officers are to say to the troops,“ Who among you has built a new house and not dedicated it? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else dedicate it.Or who among you has planted a vineyard and not benefited from it? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else benefit from it.Or who among you has become engaged to a woman but has not married her? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else marry her.”In addition, the officers are to say to the troops,“ Who among you is afraid and fainthearted? He may go home so that he will not make his fellow soldier’s heart as fearful as his own.”
