"I will not fear the multitude of people, when they come against me in battle." This is what Moses said, "These nations are more numerous than me" (Deuteronomy 7:17). But what is written? "You shall not be afraid of them" (Deuteronomy 7:18).
"Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God!" Rabbi Pinchas said in the name of Rabbi Hoshea that David raised this verse to God five times in the first book of Psalms. Four times it corresponds to the four empires, and one corresponds to Gog and Magog. "For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone." Rabbi Levi said that this refers to a plague of the mouth, as it says: "And he commanded his house, and they strangled him." Rabbi Ahava said that it refers to those who acted like mighty men, like Samson, as it says: "And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey." Two wicked people were shattered. If you act in this way for the Lord, your blessing will be upon your people. Selah.
