those fearing

Morphological NotesVerb, present tense, middle voice, participle; masculine plural (vocative/nominative form). Present indicates ongoing action; middle voice reflects internal experience or self-involvement.
Rendering RationaleThe present middle participle denotes ongoing action with reflexive or inward involvement; thus "those fearing" captures continuous experience of fear or reverent awe while preserving the masculine plural participial form.
