16. Those who fear the Lord will tremble at nothing, and they will not be terrified. For he is their hope.
17. The soul of him who fears the Lord is blessed.
18. To whom should he look, and who is his strength?
19. The eyes of the Lord are upon those who fear him. He is a powerful Protector, a Firmament of virtue, a Shelter from the heat, and a Covering from the midday sun,
20. a Guardian from offenses, and a Helper from falling, who exalts the soul and illuminates the eyes, and who gives health and life and blessing.
21. An immolation from iniquity is a stained oblation, and the derisions of the unjust are not well pleasing.
