O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

Another three step progression. 1^st I must understand what it is to fear You for I cannot know what I do not comprehend. 2^nd is the development of trust in You, in Your Goodness, in the completeness of Your promises to me, in the knowing that You will never leave me nor forsake me. 3^rd is Shalom that invades my very being, that stands as Your help and shield between me and the Evil One.
