*I will strengthen you* and *help you*; *I will uphold you* with my righteous right hand.
11 All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish.
12 Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all. 13 For *I am the Lord your God* who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, "Do not fear; *I will help you*.
14 Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, little Israel, do not fear, for *I myself will help you*," declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
