Isaiah 41:13

For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

Ver. 13. For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand.] As a tender father taketh his dear child by the hand, in dirty or dangerous ways especially, lifting him over; so the saints are said to sit down at God's feet, Deu 33:3 or to stand between his legs, as little ones do.
