Psalms 146:5

Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

One man of you shall chase a thousand; for it is Yahweh your God who fights for you, as he spoke to you.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice. I sat alone because of your hand, for you have filled me with indignation.

One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.

Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

My son, don’t walk on the path with them. Keep your foot from their path,

Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that God is for me.

A man’s pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.

He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

As if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.

Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.

Therefore Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for Yahweh is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.

Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
