Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
