And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
And the LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; he will be with you, he will not fail you or abandon you. Don't be afraid or discouraged.
God promises to go ahead of us, stay with us, and never abandon us, so we don't need to be afraid.
