Psalms 54:4

54:4 Look, God is my deliverer! 1 

The Lord is among those who support me. 2 

Isaiah 50:7-9

50:7 But the sovereign Lord helps me,

so I am not humiliated.

For that reason I am steadfastly resolved; 3 

I know I will not be put to shame.

50:8 The one who vindicates me is close by.

Who dares to argue with me? Let us confront each other! 4 

Who is my accuser? 5  Let him challenge me! 6 

50:9 Look, the sovereign Lord helps me.

Who dares to condemn me?

Look, all of them will wear out like clothes;

a moth will eat away at them.

Hebrews 13:6

13:6 So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, and 7  I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” 8 

1 tn Or “my helper.”

2 tn Or “sustain my life.”

3 tn Heb “Therefore I set my face like flint.”

4 tn Heb “Let us stand together!”

5 tn Heb “Who is the master of my judgment?”

6 tn Heb “let him approach me”; NAB, NIV “Let him confront me.”

7 tc Some important mss (א* C* P 0285vid 33 1175 1739 pc lat) lack καί (kai), but because the omission conforms to the wording of Ps 118:6 (117:6 LXX), it is suspect.
