“There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.”
The affirmation that they shall be greatly terrified because God is with the righteous generation establishes that God sides with the righteous and will ultimately strike fear into the wicked. The terror of the wicked suggests that divine judgment will vindicate the righteous's faith and punish the wicked's arrogance. The mention of righteous generation suggests that those who maintain faith constitute an alternative community to the wicked's destructive society. This verse asserts that God recognizes and protects His covenant people.
