10. 9UDBThen everyone will be afraid to sin because of what might happen to them also; they will tell others what God has done, and they themselves will think much about it.BSBBSB: Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.
11. 10UDBRighteous people should rejoice because of what Yahweh has done; they should go to him to find refuge, and all those who honor him will praise him.BSBBSB: Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.
