Let him draw near to me. Behold, the Lord God helps me. God's on my side. Bring your accusations. Isaiah 54, 17, No weapon that is formed against you will prosper, and every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. …
… He uttered his voice, the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Come before the works of the Lord who has made desolations in the earth. He makes war cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two. He burns the chariot in the fire. Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. You may be seated.
