ציטירנדיקער פּירוש אויף תהילים 107:28

The Talmud writes in the first chapter of [tractate] Rosh Hashanah. Rabbi Isaac said: there are four things that abrogate evil decrees against a person. Giving charity, as the verse says, “charity saves from death” [Proverbs 10:2]. The second is calling to God, as the verse says, “they cried to the Lord, and He saved them from their troubles” [Psalms 107:28]. The third is when one gives a person a name, that one changes his name, as the verse says, “you shall not call her Sarai, but her name will be Sarah” [Genesis 17:15]. This means, she should not be called Sarai, but Sarah, a different name, then she would have children. The fourth is changing deeds, that he changes his deeds. If he was evil and he becomes pious, he abrogates the evil decree. Some sages say that when one moves out of one city where he had no luck and moves to another city, his luck can change for good.⁹B. Rosh Hashanah, 16b.
