The figure of enemy and the fear of him appears in the Holy Bible a lot of times, especially in psalms, in the context of persecution and hatered against the belivers of Jahwe. The fear considers a pilgrim, but also a king and the whole nation who is affraid of invaders. However the prayers of the scared are answered. God gives courage, helps overcome the fear.
