I'm probably going to muck this up, but I'll take a try:

Tá mé eagla amháin le Dia orm

Corrections, please?
Tá mé ag foghlaim i gcónaí. With translations, it is best to wait for someone more adept than I to confirm.

Tá eagla orm roimh Dia amháin
There is fear on me before God only

Those were both noble efforts, Sam and Deb. Must say I feel 'Godlike' revealing the truth to youse. :)

Just to shift the emphasis towards God in the phrase yuo could also say


Is É Dia amháin a chuireann faitíos orm.

It is God alone who puts fear on me
It's a job that's never started that takes the longest to finish.
