I quote:
Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.
I will hear what God proclaims;
the LORD - for he proclaims peace to his people.
Near indeed is his salvation to those who fear him,
glory dwelling in our land
end quote
Biblical language often references fear of The Lord, best understood as respect, and cooperation with The Father.
Today's readings focus on God's justice, and power influencing the choices of people to serve the common good.
God's call to each of us to cooperate with His plan for our life is the growing awareness that our salvation is in Our Father's care,
when we of our own free will choose to abide in His word
The LORD himself will give his benefits;
our land shall yield its increase.
Justice shall walk before him,
and prepare the way of his steps.
end
