psalms 119:161 Princes persecute me without cause, But my heart stands in awe of Thy words.

< Psalms 119:160
Psalms 119:162 >

SCHIN. (Ps 119:161-168).

      161-165. (Compare Ps 119:46, 86).
      awe--reverential, not slavish fear, which could not coexist with love (Ps 119:163; 1Jo 4:8). Instead of fearing his persecutors, he fears God's Word alone (Lu 12:4, 5). The Jews inscribe in the first page of the great Bible (Ge 28:17), "How dreadful is this place! This is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!"
