Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp. For the Lordtakes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. Psalms 149:3-4 (NIV)

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:37-39 (NIV)
