26 In the fear of Jehovah 'is' strong confidence, And to His sons there is a refuge. 27 The fear of Jehovah 'is' a fountain of life, To turn aside from 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.
