Psalm 85:9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
"He teaches who those are whom he called “converted to the heart” and saints and the Lord’s people. They are the devout and concerned in childlike fear and reverence. They fear that they themselves could be the kind of people described above. For “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Prov. 1:7). And not only are they such, they also stay that way, for then come the next words, “that glory may dwell in our land.” Fear is a faithful guardian, preserving the salvation given to us. Without fear it is quickly lost."
