Bonaventure, on Ps 90:5

Bonaventure · c. A.D. 1221–1274
Ps 90:5 · Douay-Rheims
“His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.”
On this verse:
“The third part of the perfection of the fear of the Lord consists in the perfect firmness of confidence: because the fear of the Lord is a tower of firmness and confidence, because it renders a person secure from every other fear. "His truth shall encompass you with a shield; you shall not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor the assault and the noonday devil." He who does not fear God must fear everywhere; and he who truly fears God has what no one can take from him.”
