This fear is not about being afraid but about recognizing God's power and majesty. In the Old Testament, the fear of the LORD is often associated with wisdom (<a href="/proverbs/9-10.htm">Proverbs 9:10</a>) and obedience (<a href="/deuteronomy/10-12.htm">Deuteronomy 10:12</a>). It is a foundational principle for a righteous life, guiding believers to live in a way that honors God.<p><b>you His saints,</b><br>The term "saints" refers to those set apart for God, His holy people. In the Old Testament, this often referred to the Israelites, God's chosen people. In the New Testament, it extends to all believers in Christ, who are sanctified through faith.
