Psalm 73:18-28
English Standard Version
18 Truly you set them in (A)slippery places;

19 How they are destroyed (B)in a moment,
swept away utterly by (C)terrors!
20 Like (D)a dream when one awakes,
O Lord, when (E)you rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.
21 When my soul was embittered,
when I was pricked in heart,
22 I was (F)brutish and ignorant;
I was like (G)a beast toward you.
23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
you (H)hold my right hand.
24 You (I)guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will (J)receive me to glory.
25 (K)Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
26 (L)My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is (M)the strength[a] of my heart and my (N)portion (O)forever.
27 For behold, those who are (P)far from you shall perish;
you put an end to everyone who is (Q)unfaithful to you.
28 But for me it is good to (R)be near God;
I have made the Lord God my (S)refuge,
that I may (T)tell of all your works.

Laws Concerning Warfare
20 “When you go out to war against your enemies, and see (A)horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God is (B)with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. 2 And when you draw near to the battle, (C)the priest shall come forward and speak to the people 3 and shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel, today you are drawing near for battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint. Do not fear or panic or be in dread of them, 4 for the Lord your God is he who goes with you (D)to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.’ 5 Then the officers shall speak to the people, saying, ‘Is there any man who has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go back to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man dedicate it. 6 And is there any man who has planted a vineyard and has not (E)enjoyed its fruit? Let him go back to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man enjoy its fruit. 7 (F)And is there any man who has betrothed a wife and has not taken her? Let him go back to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man take her.’ 8 And the officers shall speak further to the people, and say, (G)‘Is there any man who is fearful and fainthearted? Let him go back to his house, lest he make the heart of his fellows melt like his own.’
