A Psalm. Of Solomon. With a Song.
When I was in distress I called upon the name of the Lord, I hoped for the help of the God of Jacob and was saved;
For the hope and refuge of the poor art Thou, O God.
And wherein is a man powerful except in giving thanks to Thy name
For they shall flee away from the pious as men pursued in war;
For the mark of destruction is upon their forehead.
And the inheritance of sinners is destruction and darkness, And their iniquities shall pursue them unto Sheol beneath.
For sins shall lay waste the houses of sinners.
When God visiteth the earth with His judgment.
But they that fear the Lord shall find mercy therein, And shall live by the compassion of their God; But sinners shall perish for ever.
