The sword of the Lord and Gideon, Judges 7:20. For they are bread for us; their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us; fear them not. Numbers 14:9. But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed, me fully, him will I bring into the land, whereunto he went, Numbers 14:24. Surely the wrath of men shall praise thee, Psalms 76:10.
Take care, O my soul, that there may also be another, namely, a kingly spirit with thee, as there was with Joshua and Caleb; not to be discouraged on account of my weakness and great numbers of frailties and enemies, as if it was impossible to live only, and get the victory. Behold Christ, the true and great Joshua and Caleb, marches out before thee, to make war himself against thine enemies, and who can conquer him? He is unchangeable, his spirit now is as mighty as ever, and his sword as powerful, and sharper than a two-edged sword. Against thy various infirmities he offers also a variety of divine strength, and against each of thine enemies he holds forth to thee a particular sword in his word; and abiding in his word thou shalt surely conquer. Though the enemy should raise thine inward and outward calamities, to the highest degree, as so many strong wails, yet he must fall; one single word will strike him down.
Not all that tyrants think or say.
With rage and lightning in their eyes,
Nor hell shall fright my heart away,
Should hell with all its legions rise.
