8 You that fear the Lord, trust in him,and your reward will not be lost.
9 You that fear the Lord, hope for good things,for lasting joy and mercy.
10 Consider the generations long past and see:has anyone trusted in the Lord and been disappointed?Has anyone persevered in his fear and been forsaken?has anyone called upon him and been ignored?
11 For the Lord is compassionate and merciful;forgives sins and saves in time of trouble.
12 Woe to timid hearts and drooping hands,to the sinner who walks a double path!
13 Woe to the faint of heart! For they do not trust,and therefore have no shelter!
14 Woe to you that have lost hope!what will you do at the Lord’s visitation?
