Sirach 34:14-20

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ The spirit of those who fear the Lord will live,
¹⁵     for their hope is in him who saves them.
¹⁶ Those who fear the Lord will not be timid,
    or play the coward, for he is their hope.
¹⁷ Happy is the soul that fears the Lord!
¹⁸     To whom does he look? And who is his support?
¹⁹ The eyes of the Lord are on those who love him,
    a mighty shield and strong support,
a shelter from scorching wind and a shade from noonday sun,
    a guard against stumbling and a help against falling.
²⁰ He lifts up the soul and makes the eyes sparkle;
    he gives health and life and blessing.
