This, too, will be my salvation for no godless can come before Him.
“Listen carefully to my words, and let my declaration be in your ears.
There the upright can reason with Him, and there I would forever be delivered from my Judge.
“For His eyes are on the ways of man; He sees all his steps.
“The godless in heart harbor anger, they do not cry for help even when He binds them.
Such are the ways of all who forget God; the hope of the godless perishes—
Adonai is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.
I give You thanks, because You have answered me and have become my salvation.
Of David. Adonai is my light and my salvation: whom should I fear? Adonai is the stronghold of my life: whom should I dread?
Adonai is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will glorify Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
Sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the godless: “Who among us can live with the consuming fire?” “Who among us can live with everlasting burnings?”
Surely help from the hills is a delusion— the commotion of the mountains! Surely in Adonai Eloheinu is the salvation of Israel.
For so the Lord has commanded us, ‘I have placed you as a light to the nations, so that you may bring salvation to the end of the earth.’”
