DRA
Blessed is he that findeth a true friend, and that declareth justice to an ear that heareth.
NCB
[ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of loving him, and faith is the beginning of clinging to him.]
WYC
The dread of God
is
the beginning of his love; forsooth the beginning of faith is to be fast-joined thereto. [The dread of God the beginning of his love; the beginning forsooth of faith is to be joined to him.]
