Musar zu Tehillim 119:120

סָמַ֣ר מִפַּחְדְּךָ֣ בְשָׂרִ֑י וּֽמִמִּשְׁפָּטֶ֥יךָ יָרֵֽאתִי׃

Ich schauerte vor dir zusammen, denn vor deinen Gerichten fürchte ich mich.

Orchot Tzadikim

Thirdly, the sinner must know and believe from the depth of his heart that severe punishment awaits him for the sins that he committed, for if he does not know this, he will be in no haste to repent. But after the punishment he may expect is clear to him, he can repent and have true remorse, and he can ask forgiveness of God, as it is said, "My flesh shuddereth for fear of thee, and I am afraid of thy judgments" (Ps. 119:120).
