2 Chronicles 32:7-8
32:7 “Be strong and brave! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic
because of the king of Assyria and this huge army that is with him! We have with us one who is stronger than those who are with him.
32:8 He has with him mere human strength,
but the
Lord our God is with us to help us and fight our battles!” The army
was encouraged by the words of King Hezekiah of Judah.

but we depend on the Lord our God.
20:8 They will fall down,
but we will stand firm.

Psalms 44:3-7
44:3 For they did not conquer the land by their swords,
and they did not prevail by their strength,
but rather by your power, strength and good favor,
for you were partial to them.
44:4 You are my king, O God!
Decree Jacob’s deliverance!
44:5 By your power we will drive back our enemies;
by your strength we will trample down our foes!
44:6 For I do not trust in my bow,
and I do not prevail by my sword.
44:7 For you deliver us from our enemies;
you humiliate those who hate us.
