Fear of You Lord encompasses knowledge.
Instructing us ways to do Your will.
Sheer delight is produced in a saint,
Meditating on precepts all day and all night.
Your Word is a compass, a lamp shining bright,
Guiding our wayward feet to the path that is right.
Fear of You Lord furnishes wisdom.
What a beauty she is, a sight to behold!
More precious than rubies and finer than gold!
How marvelous and excellent You truly are, Lord!
Producing fruit so splendid and ripe,
Pure, merciful, impartial, and sincere.
Written on my heart and spoken from my lips.
My heart is enamored by Your never ending truths.
Let my desperate plea be obedience to You,
Even when it hurts, I will surely trust You.
Teach me to fear You, to have reverential awe,
So that others may surrender to you, oh God.
