The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

The fear of the Lord (tendeth) to life; and (he that hath it) shall abide (Hebrew, lin-lit, shall pass the whole night; cf. Psalms 4:7 ) satisfied - abundantly filled with all really good things for the body and the soul (; , "Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the Lord;" cf. ). Such a one is relieved alike from indigence and from restless desires (Philippians 4:18; ).

He shall not be visited with evil. As he is exempt from the evil of guilt, so shall he be from the evil of punishment.
