So David became famous in all the lands; the Lord caused all the nations to fear him.

For the Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise, he is more awesome than all gods.

Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is established, it cannot be moved.

Then you will succeed, if you carefully obey the rules and regulations which the Lord ordered Moses to give to Israel. Be strong and brave! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic!

David said to his son Solomon: “Be strong and brave! Do it! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic! For the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not leave you or abandon you before all the work for the service of the Lord’s temple is finished.

David was afraid of God that day and said, “How will I ever be able to bring the ark of God up here?”

Saul told his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and stab me with it. Otherwise these uncircumcised people will come and torture me.” But his armor bearer refused to do it, because he was very afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell on it.

But David could not go before it to seek God’s will, for he was afraid of the sword of the Lord’s messenger.

And who is like your people, Israel, a unique nation in the earth? Their God went to claim a nation for himself! You made a name for yourself by doing great and awesome deeds when you drove out nations before your people whom you had delivered from the Egyptian empire and its gods.
