And Joshuaª saidª° unto¹ them, Fearª° not,¹ nor¹ be dismayed,ª° be strongª° and of good courage:ª° for¹ thus¹ shall the LORDª doª° to all¹ your enemiesª° against whom¹¹ ye¹ fight.ª°" {Jsh 10:24-25} + "And Davidª saidª° unto¹ Saul,ª Thy servantª keptª°¹ his father'sª sheep,ª and there cameª° a lion,ª and a bear,ª and tookª° a lambª°² out of the flock:ª¹ ... Davidª saidª° moreover, The LORDª that¹ deliveredª° me out of the pawª¹ of the lion,ª and out of the pawª¹ of the bear,ª he¹ will deliverª° me out of the handª¹ of this¹ Philistine.ª And Saulª saidª° unto¹ David,ª Go,²°¹ and the LORDª be¹ with¹ thee." {1Sm 17:34-37} + "When the wicked,ª° [even] mine enemiesª and my foes,ª° cameª° upon¹ me to eat upª°¹ my flesh,ª they¹ stumbledª° and fell.ª° ...
