Deuteronomy 31:6-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ Be strong and of good courage, do not fear or be in dread of them: for it is the Lord your God who goes with you; he will not fail you or forsake you.”

⁷ Then Moses summoned Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and of good courage; for you shall go with this people into the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall put them in possession of it. ⁸ It is the Lord who goes before you; he will be with you, he will not fail you or forsake you; do not fear or be dismayed.”
