Fear

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in his commands. His children will be mighty in the land; each generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. (Ps. 112:1-3)

Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways. You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours. (Ps. 128:1)

But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit. (Jer. 17:7, 8)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make our paths straight. (Prov. 3:6, 7)

This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. Fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those that seek the Lord lack no good thing. (Ps. 34:6-10)

Who then, is the man who fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him! He will spend his days in prosperity. (Ps. 25:12, 13)

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. (Ps. 84:11)

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall lack nothing. (Ps. 23:1)

Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Ps. 37:3, 4)

You have granted him the desire of his heart and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Ps. 21:2)

In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success. (Prov. 3:6 TLB)

Those who turn from God may be successful for the moment, but then comes sudden disaster. (Job 5:3 TLB)

In everything he did he had great success because the Lord was with him. (1 Sam. 18:14)...As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success. (2 Chron. 26:5)

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Rom. 8:28)
