war against you will be as nothing at all for I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you you do not fear I will help you no weapon forged against you will prevail and you will refute every tongue that accuses you this is the heritage of the Servants of the Lord and this is their Vindication from me declares the Lord the Lord is my shepherd I lack nothing he makes me lie down in Green Pastures he leads me beside Quiet Waters he refreshes my soul he guides me
along the light paths for his name's sake even though I walk through the darkest Valley I will fear no evil for you are with me your Rob and your staff they comfort me you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies you anoint my head with oil my cup overflow surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever whoever dwells in the shelter of the most high will rest in the shadow of the Almighty I will say

name of the Lord I cut them down they surrounded me on every side but in the name of the Lord I cut them down they swarmed around me like bees but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns in the name of the Lord I cut them down I was pushed back and about to fall but the Lord helped me the Lord is my strength and my defense he has become my salvation I can do all this through him who gives me strength if God is for us who can be against us
