109:25 I have become also a reproach and a taunt to others; when they see me, they shake their heads.
109:26 Help me, O Lord my God; O save me according to Your mercy and loving-kindness!—
109:27 That they may know that this is Your hand, that You, Lord, have done it.

VIII. MAIN BODY:
A. Our enemies will fight against us but they will not prevail over us.
"And I will make you to this people a fortified, bronze wall; they will fight against you, but they will not prevail over you,"
Fortified or "batsar" in Hebrew meaning:
1. to gather grapes
2. to be isolated
3. inaccessible by height or fortification
4. mighty things, restrain, strong, wall (up), withhold.
Bronze, brasen or "nechosheth" in Hebrew meaning:

4. steel
Wall or "chomah" in Hebrew meaning:
1. to join

That's how GOD protected us, we are not protected by our steel gate or by our cctv cameras or security guards walking back and forth our establishments but by the LORD GOD Himself who has walled us with His Love like a strong steel around us ready to gather grapes (blood) of the wicked. The LORD GOD uses us as instrument to tread the grapes.
Revelation 14:20 (Amplified Bible)
14:20 And [the grapes in] the winepress were trodden outside the city, and blood poured from the winepress, [reaching] as high as horses’ bridles, for a distance of 1,600 stadia (about 200 miles).
Genesis 49:11 (Amplified Bible)
49:11 Binding His foal to the vine and His donkey’s colt to the choice vine, He washes His garments in wine and His clothes in the blood of grapes.
People of GOD protected against people that hate them:
1. Ezekiel against the rebellious house of Israel.
Ezekiel 3:9 (Amplified Bible)
3:9 Like an adamant harder than flint or a diamond point have I made your forehead; fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.
2. Peter against the rulers and elders of Israel. The LORD does this thru His HOLY SPIRIT in us by filling us with the HOLY SPIRIT.
Acts 4:8-13 (Amplified Bible)
4:8 Then Peter, [because he was] filled with [and controlled by] the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and members of the council (the Sanhedrin),
4:9 If we are being put on trial [here] today and examined concerning a good deed done to benefit a feeble (helpless) cripple, by what means this man has been restored to health,
4:10 Let it be known and understood by all of you, and by the whole house of Israel, that in the name and through the power and authority of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Whom you crucified, [but] Whom God raised from the dead, in Him and by means of Him this man is standing here before you well and sound in body.
4:11 This [Jesus] is the Stone which was despised and rejected by you, the builders, but which has become the Head of the corner [the Cornerstone].
4:12 And there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved.
4:13 Now when they saw the boldness and unfettered eloquence of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and untrained in the schools [common men with no educational advantages], they marveled; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
Acts 4:29-31 (Amplified Bible)
4:29 And now, Lord, observe their threats and grant to Your bond servants [full freedom] to declare Your message fearlessly,
4:30 While You stretch out Your hand to cure and to perform signs and wonders through the authority and by the power of the name of Your holy Child and Servant Jesus.
4:31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they continued to speak the Word of God with freedom and boldness and courage.
Acts 5:29-32 (Amplified Bible)
5:29 Then Peter and the apostles replied, We must obey God rather than men.
5:30 The God of our forefathers raised up Jesus, Whom you killed by hanging Him on a tree (cross).
5:31 God exalted Him to His right hand to be Prince and Leader and Savior and Deliverer and Preserver, in order to grant repentance to Israel and to bestow forgiveness and release from sins.
5:32 And we are witnesses of these things, and the Holy Spirit is also, Whom God has bestowed on those who obey Him.
3. Jeremiah's acknowledgement of Presence of the LORD:
Jeremiah 20:11-12 (Amplified Bible)
20:11 But the Lord is with me as a mighty and terrible One; therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they will not overcome [me]. They will be utterly put to shame, for they will not deal wisely or prosper [in their schemes]; their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten.
20:12 But, O Lord of hosts, You Who try the righteous, Who see the heart and the mind, let me see Your vengeance on them, for to You have I revealed and committed my cause.
4. King David
Psalms 124:1-3 (Amplified Bible)
124:1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. IF IT had not been the Lord Who was on our side—now may Israel say—
124:2 If it had not been the Lord Who was on our side when men rose up against us,
124:3 Then they would have quickly swallowed us up alive when their wrath was kindled against us;
Psalms 129:1-2 (Amplified Bible)
129:1 A Song of Ascents. MANY A time and much have they afflicted me from my youth up—let Israel now say—
129:2 Many a time and much have they afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
5. Our protection
Romans 8:31-39 (Amplified Bible)
8:31 What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]
8:32 He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?
8:33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect [when it is] God Who justifies [that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God, Who acquits us?]
8:34 Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah), Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us?
8:35 Who shall ever separate us from Christ’s love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword?
8:36 Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter.
8:37 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.
8:38 For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers,
8:39 Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
B. The LORD is with us to save and deliver
"for I am with you to save and deliver you, says the Lord."
The LORD's mere Presence is protection indeed.
1. The LORD is our Refuge, Stronghold and Fortress
Psalms 46:7 (Amplified Bible)
46:7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge (our Fortress and High Tower). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
Psalms 46:11 (Amplified Bible)
46:11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge (our High Tower and Stronghold). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
2. The LORD strengthens us and hardens us to difficulties
Isaiah 41:10 (Amplified Bible)
41:10 Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.
3. The LORD have many people in this city, no man can assault him to harm him
Acts 18:9-10 (Amplified Bible)
18:9 And one night the Lord said to Paul in a vision, Have no fear, but speak and do not keep silent;
18:10 For I am with you, and no man shall assault you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.
4. Paul protected like he's delivered out of the jaws of the lion
2 Timothy 4:17 (Amplified Bible)
4:17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the [Gospel] message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was delivered out of the jaws of the lion.
IX. CONCLUSION:
Praise, Worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You have strengthened and fortified me as strong as a steel wall before my enemies, and You're there to save and deliver me.
