"I cling to you; your strong right hand hand holds me securely"
Snickers have a funny ad going at the moment. There is a climber apparently climbing up a vertical rock wall - then he slips and screams for help, clinging on.
The camera then rotates to show he is actually on a horizontal surface and in no danger at all!!
Isn't this so often how we are? We're clinging on to God as if we will fall into the abyss if we let go but, if we change our perspective, we find He has us safe in His hand all along.
How do we change our perspective?
Be still and know that He is God
Stop clinging, flailing and screaming because that just makes you harder to hold
Make a conscious effort to stop worrying and, instead, bring it before the Lord who has pledged eternal love and care for you, bring it with thanksgiving for who He is, all He has done and all He will do - then let the peace of God which passes all understanding fill your heart and mind with the knowledge and love of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Then, in faith, you will come to the point where you can say "Your strong right hand holds me securely"
Just an afterthought here - the right hand is the one which would hold the sword. If God's right hand is occupied by you, He is protecting you and not fighting against you.
Be blessed
