Isaiah 26:3-6
You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.
He humbles the proud and brings down the arrogant city.
He brings it down to the dust.
The poor and oppressed trample it underfoot, and the needy walk all over it.
