1
When I was distressed I called upon the Name of Yahuah; I hoped in the help of the Elohim of Yaaqov and was delivered.
2
You are the hope and refuge of the poor, Elohim.
3
Who is strong except in giving You thanks in truth?
4
In what can Adam boast except in giving thanks to Your Name?
5
A new psalm with song rises from a glad heart, the fruit of the lips with the tuned instrument of the tongue, the firstfruits of speech from a devoted and righteous heart.
6
The one who offers these things is not shaken by evil.
7
The flame and wrath appointed against injustice do not consume the righteous.
8
When judgment goes forth from before Yahuah against sinners, it destroys the substance of those who persist in lawlessness.
9
The mark of Elohim rests upon the righteous so that they may be delivered.
10
Famine, sword, and pestilence remain far from the righteous according to the hope of the psalm.
11
They flee from the devoted as people pursued in war.
12
But judgment pursues sinners and overtakes them; those who practice lawlessness do not escape the Judgment of Elohim.
13
Their inheritance is destruction and darkness, and their lawlessness follows them down toward Sheol.
14
Their inheritance is not securely transmitted to their children, for sin lays waste the houses of sinners.
15
Sinners perish in the Day of Yahuah's Judgment when Elohim visits the earth.
16
But those who fear Yahuah find mercy and live through the compassion of their Elohim.
