Psalms 48:3

3: God himself is in Jerusalem's towers. He reveals himself as her defender.

The other angel said, "Hurry, and say to that young man, `Jerusalem will someday be so full of people that it won't have room enough for everyone! Many will live outside the city walls, with all their livestock--and yet they will be safe.
For I, myself, will be a wall of fire around Jerusalem, says the LORD. And I will be the glory inside the city!'"

Then the LORD will provide shade for Jerusalem and all who assemble there. There will be a canopy of smoke and cloud throughout the day and clouds of fire at night, covering the glorious land.
It will be a shelter from daytime heat and a hiding place from storms and rain.

"And this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria: His armies will not enter Jerusalem to shoot their arrows. They will not march outside its gates with their shields and build banks of earth against its walls.
The king will return to his own country by the road on which he came. He will not enter this city, says the LORD.
For my own honor and for the sake of my servant David, I will defend it."
That night the angel of the LORD went out to the Assyrian camp and killed 185,000 Assyrian troops. When the surviving Assyrians woke up the next morning, they found corpses everywhere.

Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever.

God is well known in Judah; his name is great in Israel.
Jerusalem is where he lives; Mount Zion is his home.
There he breaks the arrows of the enemy, the shields and swords and weapons of his foes.
You are glorious and more majestic than the everlasting mountains.
The mightiest of our enemies have been plundered. They lie before us in the sleep of death. No warrior could lift a hand against us.

Once an Ethiopian named Zerah attacked Judah with an army of a million men and three hundred chariots. They advanced to the city of Mareshah,
so Asa deployed his armies for battle in the valley north of Mareshah.
Then Asa cried out to the LORD his God, "O LORD, no one but you can help the powerless against the mighty! Help us, O LORD our God, for we trust in you alone. It is in your name that we have come against this vast horde. O LORD, you are our God; do not let mere men prevail against you!"
So the LORD defeated the Ethiopians in the presence of Asa and the army of Judah, and the enemy fled.
Asa and his army pursued them as far as Gerar, and so many Ethiopians fell that they were unable to rally. They were destroyed by the LORD and his army, and the army of Judah carried off vast quantities of plunder.

After this, the armies of the Moabites, Ammonites, and some of the Meunites declared war on Jehoshaphat.
Messengers came and told Jehoshaphat, "A vast army from Edom is marching against you from beyond the Dead Sea. They are already at Hazazon-tamar." (This was another name for En-gedi.)
Jehoshaphat was alarmed by this news and sought the LORD for guidance. He also gave orders that everyone throughout Judah should observe a fast.
So people from all the towns of Judah came to Jerusalem to seek the LORD.
Jehoshaphat stood before the people of Judah and Jerusalem in front of the new courtyard at the Temple of the LORD.

When the LORD saw their change of heart, he gave this message to Shemaiah: "Since the people have humbled themselves, I will not completely destroy them and will soon give them some relief. I will not use Shishak to pour out my anger on Jerusalem.
