Princes have persecuted me I without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of~ thy word. These are rightly the words of a martyr, who beareth unjustly the~ torments of the persecutors, who hath robbed no man, who hath violently~ oppressed no man, who hath shed the blood of no man, who hath imagined to defile~ the bed of no man, who is debtor to the laws in nothing, and who is punished~ more grievously than if he were a robber: who speaketh righteousness, and there~ is none that will hear: who speaketh salvation, and all men fight against him:~ who is able to say: “When I spoke unto them, they fought against me without a~ cause.” (Ps. cxix. 7.) They fight against him without a cause, who can lay no~ sin to his charge; they fight against him as an evildoer, who is by their own~ acknowledgment righteous: they fight against him as a warlock, who glorieth in~ the name of the Lord, and who doeth all things well because he doeth all things~ for God's sake. [Lectio6] They fight against him in vain who is accused of ungodliness among the ungodly~ and the unfaithful, because he teacheth Faith. Verily, him that is fought~ against without a cause it behoveth to be strong and patient. Wherefore then~ saith he: My heart standeth in awe of thy word? Awe is the mark of the weak,~ the timid, and the fearful But there is also a weakness unto salvation, there is a~ fear which is an holy fear. O fear the Lord, all ye His Saints. (Ps. xxxiii.~ 10.) And again: Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord. (Ps. cxi. i.) And~ wherefore is he blessed? because he delighteth greatly in His commandments.
