11 Ye that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.
Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him; All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; And stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;
Let them now that fear Jehovah say, That his lovingkindness `endureth' for ever.
Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him, In those that hope in his lovingkindness.
Every word of God is tried: He is a shield unto them that take refuge in him.
but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.
