26 In the fear of Yahweh is a secure fortress,
and he will be a refuge for his children. 27 The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life,
turning people from the snares of death.
Those who fear the Lord so as to obey and serve him, have a strong ground of confidence, and will be preserved. Let us seek to this Fountain of life, that we may escape the snares of death.
