³⁹ and I have given to them one heart, and one way, to fear Me all the days, for good to them, and to their sons after them:

⁴⁰ and I have made for them a covenant age-during, in that I turn not back from after them for My doing them good, and My fear I put in their heart, so as not to turn aside from me;

⁶ And hath been the stedfastness of thy times, The strength of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, Fear of Jehovah -- it `is' His treasure.

²⁵ Be not afraid of sudden fear, And of the desolation of the wicked when it cometh.

²⁶ For Jehovah is at thy side, And He hath kept thy foot from capture.

⁷ Be not wise in thine own eyes, Fear Jehovah, and turn aside from evil.

⁸ Healing it is to thy navel, And moistening to thy bones.

¹³ He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.

¹⁴ Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.

⁶ For -- to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

⁷ Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

⁸ Sustained is his heart -- he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

⁷ A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them.

¹⁰ Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,

¹¹ Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you.

² And risen to you, ye who fear My name, Hath the sun of righteousness -- and healing in its wings, And ye have gone forth, and have increased as calves of a stall.

¹⁶ Then have those fearing Jehovah spoken one to another, And Jehovah doth attend and hear, And written is a book of memorial before Him Of those fearing Jehovah, And of those esteeming His name.

¹⁷ And they have been to Me, said Jehovah of Hosts, In the day that I am appointing -- a peculiar treasure, And I have had pity on them, As one hath pity on his son who is serving him.

¹⁸ And ye have turned back and considered, Between the righteous and the wicked, Between the servant of God and him who is not His servant.

¹ Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

³¹ Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and, going on in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.

²⁰ Come, My people, enter into thy inner chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee, Hide thyself shortly a moment till the indignation pass over.

²¹ For, lo, Jehovah is coming out of His place, To charge the iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth upon him, And revealed hath the earth her blood, Nor doth she cover any more her slain!'

¹⁸ `It is' good that thou dost lay hold on this, and also, from that withdrawest not thy hand, for whoso is fearing God goeth out with them all.

⁴² unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now empty thou hadst sent me away; mine affliction and the labour of my hands hath God seen, and reproveth yesternight.'

¹¹ Jehovah said, Did I not direct thee for good? Did not I intercede for thee in a time of evil, And in a time of adversity, with the enemy?
