Berean Study Bible

Do not fear
The phrase "Do not fear" is a command and a reassurance. In Hebrew, the word for fear is "yare," which can mean to be afraid or to stand in awe. Here, it is a call to reject the paralyzing fear that can come from facing life's challenges. Historically, the Israelites faced numerous threats from surrounding nations, and this command is a divine assurance that they need not be afraid because of God's presence and protection.

for I am with you
This phrase emphasizes God's omnipresence and personal involvement in the lives of His people. The Hebrew word "im" means "with," indicating a close, personal relationship. This assurance is rooted in the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where God promises to be with His people through all circumstances, echoing His promise to patriarchs like Abraham and Moses.

do not be dismayed
"Dismayed" in Hebrew is "sha'ah," which means to look around in anxiety or to be shattered. This phrase encourages believers not to be overwhelmed by their circumstances. Historically, Israel often found itself in dire situations, but God calls them to trust in His sovereignty and plan, rather than being consumed by their immediate troubles.

for I am your God
This declaration is a reminder of the covenant relationship. The Hebrew word for God here is "Elohim," a plural form that denotes majesty and power. It reassures the Israelites that the Almighty, who created and sustains the universe, is their personal God, committed to their welfare and deliverance.

I will strengthen you
The promise "I will strengthen you" uses the Hebrew word "amats," which means to be strong, alert, or courageous. This is not just physical strength but also emotional and spiritual fortitude. God promises to infuse His people with the strength needed to face any challenge, reflecting His role as a divine warrior and protector.

I will surely help you
The word "help" in Hebrew is "azar," which means to support or assist. This assurance of divine assistance is a recurring theme in the Psalms and throughout the Old Testament. It reflects God's active involvement in the lives of His people, providing aid and support in times of need.

I will uphold you
"Uphold" comes from the Hebrew "tamak," meaning to grasp or support. This conveys the image of God holding His people securely, preventing them from falling. It is a promise of stability and security, ensuring that they will not be overwhelmed by their adversities.

with My right hand of righteousness
The "right hand" is a symbol of power and authority in biblical literature. "Righteousness" in Hebrew is "tsedeq," which implies justice, rightness, and faithfulness. This phrase assures that God's support is not only powerful but also just and faithful. It reflects His commitment to uphold His covenant promises and to act in accordance with His holy nature.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(10) Fear thou not . . .--The thought of the election of God gives a sense of security to His chosen.

I will strengthen thee.--The verb unites with this meaning (as in Isaiah 35:3; Psalm 89:21) the idea of attaching to one's self, or choosing, as in Isaiah 44:14.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 10. - Fear thou not. This verse is most closely connected with the two preceding. The clauses in vers. 8, 9 are one and all vocative; here the verb follows. The whole passage is one of great tenderness. I am with thee (comp. Deuteronomy 31:6, 8; and see above (vol. 1, p. 132), on the force of the word" Immanuel"). I will strengthen thee; rather, I have strengthened thee, or I have chosen thee (Delitzsch, Cheyne). The two other verbs are also in the past tense. While primarily they declare past favours, they may also be regarded as prophetic of future ones, since "with God is no variableness.'
