11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
