Let him take his rod away from me, and let not dread of him terrify me.
Remove your stroke from me; I am spent by the hostility of your hand.
Behold, no fear of me need terrify you; my pressure will not be heavy upon you.

“At this also my heart trembles and leaps out of its place.
For I was in terror of calamity from God, and I could not have faced his majesty.
Therefore I am terrified at his presence; when I consider, I am in dread of him.
