Let him take his rod away from me, and let not dread of him terrify me.
Remove thy stroke from me; I am spent by the blows of thy hand.
Behold, no fear of me need terrify you; my pressure will not be heavy upon you.
Will not his majesty terrify you, and the dread of him fall upon you?
Who considers the power of thy anger, and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?
“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.
then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with scourges;
When thou dost chasten man with rebukes for sin, thou dost consume like a moth what is dear to him; surely every man is a mere breath! Selah
