It is not timidness. Meekness is power under control… strength under control. Meekness does not defend the interests of oneself but it will always defend the interests of God.

“(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)” Numbers 12:3… Look at the context of that passage. It is amazing how Moses didn’t need to defend himself… He knew God would do that. But Moses was not weak and he always defended God with great zeal.

Strength under control.

“He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.” Proverbs 16:32
