One way to paraphrase this is, Gods will not Mine. Another verse that you could try is, Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.

Get something like, For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith (I John 5:4). You can shorten it so say, Trust in God. You can also try something like, It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed (Deuteronomy 31:8). A way to write this with a good tattoo lettering style is, Lord is with Me.

Get something like, Return to your fortress, O prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you (Zechariah 9:12). The best way to write this is, Hope is Alive.
