For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous.
fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
The Lord upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down.
Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations.
though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.
Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope! Hold me up, that I may be safe and have regard for your statutes continually!
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy,
Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call his wickedness to account till you find none.
But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.
From the wicked their light is withheld, and their uplifted arm is broken.
“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and behold, it has not been bound up, to heal it by binding it with a bandage, so that it may become strong to wield the sword. Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong arm and the one that was broken, and I will make the sword fall from his hand. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them through the countries. And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put my sword in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before him like a man mortally wounded. I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh shall fall. Then they shall know that I am the Lord, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he stretches it out against the land of Egypt.
