And do not be discouraged by the small number of those who follow the path.

تَسْتَوْحِشْ be discouraged

This is a derived (added-letters) verb meaning 'to feel desolate or daunted', here in the clipped form a prohibition forces, with its 'you' subject inside it. The preceding 'do not' bends its ending into the jussive shape that always follows the prohibition particle, which is the grammatical mark of a command not to do something. So the form itself signals 'don't feel alone'.
