fear
You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,And you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
Because I feared the great multitude,And dreaded the contempt of families,So that I kept silenceAnd did not go out of the door—
An Exuberant Declaration of FaithThe Lord is my light and my salvation;Whom shall I fear?The Lord is the strength of my life;Of whom shall I be afraid?
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil;For You are with me;Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.His praise endures forever.
You who fear the Lord, praise Him!All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him,And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!
But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.
Put them in fear, O Lord,That the nations may know themselves to be but men.Selah
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of peopleWho have set themselves against me all around.
My praise shall be of You in the great assembly;I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.
