^9 (A)Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; ^(B)do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

¹⁵ Behold, ^(A)I am with you and will ^(B)keep^[a] you wherever you go, and will ^(C)bring you back to this land; for ^(D)I will not leave you ^(E)until I have done what I have spoken to you.”

^6 (A)Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall ^[a]divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. ⁷ Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law ^(B)which Moses My servant commanded you; ^(C)do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may ^[b]prosper wherever you go.

⁷ But the Lord said to me:

An Exuberant Declaration of Faith

A Psalm of David.

Principles Governing Warfare

20 “When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see ^(A)horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be ^(B)afraid of them; for the Lord your God is ^(C)with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.

⁷ Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, ^(A)“Be strong and of good courage, for you must go with this people to the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to inherit it. ⁸ And the Lord, ^(B)He is the One who goes before you. ^(C)He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”

The Redeemer of Israel
