Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy, To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name. Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, Just as we hope in You.
This set of 5 verses gives us a very powerful definition of Godly fear. He watches over us, we have hope (certain expectation) of His mercy. He sustains us in famine and illness. We expect His return. He is our protector. Contact with Him fills us with joy for we trust in His holy Name. This is to fear the LORD, God, the Almighty.
