Surely God is my helper. My Lord is the supporter of my soul.
Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of His works with joyful singing.
To You I will offer a sacrifice of praise, and will call on the Name of Adonai.
Adonai is for me, as my helper. I will see the downfall of those who hate me.
I know Adonai will vindicate the poor, and secure justice for the needy.
Halleluyah! How good it is to sing praises to our God. How pleasant and fitting is praise.
For You make them turn their backs. You aim Your bowstrings at their faces.
Offer God a sacrifice of thank offerings, then fulfill your vows to Elyon.
“Here is the man who did not make God his stronghold. Instead he trusted in his great riches— and was strong in his evil desire.”
His mischief will turn on his own head. His violence will boomerang on his crown.
A psalm, a song for the Shabbat.
For Adonai Elohim will help Me. Therefore I have not been disgraced. Therefore I set My face like flint, and I know that I will not be ashamed.
See, Adonai Elohim will help Me. Who is he who would condemn Me? See, they all wear out like a garment. A moth will eat them up.
