1When you go out to battle against your enemies and see horses, chariots, and a people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, is with you.
2When you approach the battle, the priest shall come forward and address the people.
3He shall say to them: 'Hear, O Israel, you are about to go into battle against your enemies. Do not let your hearts be faint; do not be afraid, panic, or dread them.'
4For the LORD your God goes with you to fight for you against your enemies and to give you victory.
