The Favor of His Fear

"And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is His treasure" (Isaiah 33:6). "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge" (Proverbs 1:7).

The fear of the Lord
Is wisdom's true measure.
It grants the reward
Of God's fullest treasure.

It cries to the sinner's heart,
"Flee from God's wrath!"
It cleanses our inner part,
Shows the right path.
