Isaiah 41:10

Fear God's presence Strength and help in weakness Protection and safety

⁸ “But you, O Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, descendant of Abraham My friend—

⁹ I brought you from the ends of the earth and called you from its farthest corners. I said, ‘You are My servant.’ I have chosen and not rejected you.

Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My right hand of righteousness.

¹¹ Behold, all who rage against you will be ashamed and disgraced; those who contend with you will be reduced to nothing and will perish.

¹² You will seek them but will not find them. Those who wage war against you will come to nothing.

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