shatters[b] the forces of old;[c]
he drove out the enemy before you
and said, ‘Destroy!’(A)
28 So Israel lives in safety,
untroubled is Jacob’s abode[d]
in a land of grain and wine,
where the heavens drop down dew.(B)
29 Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you,
a people saved by the Lord,
the shield of your help
and the sword of your triumph!
Your enemies shall come fawning to you,
but you shall tread on their backs.”(C)
Romans 8:35-39
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword? 36 As it is written,
“For your sake we are being killed all day long;
we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered.”(A)
37 No, in all these things we are more than victorious through him who loved us.(B) 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,(C) 39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
