He also shall be my salvation, For a hypocrite could not come before Him.
The sinners in Zion are afraid; Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites: “Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”
I will praise You, For You have answered me, And have become my salvation.
For so the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
Truly, in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, And from the multitude of mountains; Truly, in the Lord our God Is the salvation of Israel.
The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.
The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
“But the hypocrites in heart store up wrath; They do not cry for help when He binds them.
So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the hypocrite shall perish,
The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
Listen carefully to my speech, And to my declaration with your ears.
There the upright could reason with Him, And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
“For His eyes are on the ways of man, And He sees all his steps.
