Deuteronomy 1:31

29 So I said to you: “Do not be terrified or afraid of them!

30 The LORD your God, who goes before you, will fight for you, just as you saw Him do for you in Egypt

and in the wilderness, where the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way by which you traveled until you reached this place.”

32 But in spite of all this, you did not trust the LORD your God,

33 who went before you on the journey, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day, to seek out a place for you to camp and to show you the road to travel.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
