- {[A Psalm] of David;
when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.} I will bless Jehovah at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
- 2
- My soul shall make its boast in Jehovah: the meek shall hear, and rejoice.
- 3
- Magnify Jehovah with me, and let us exalt his name together.
- 4
- I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
- 5
- They looked unto him, and were enlightened, and their faces were not confounded.
- 6
- This afflicted one called, and Jehovah heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles.
- 7
- The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
- 8
- Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him!
- 9
- Fear Jehovah, ye his saints;
for there is no want to them that fear him.
- 10
- The young lions are in need and suffer hunger;
but they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good.
- 11
- Come, ye sons, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.
- 12
- What man is he that desireth life, [and] loveth days, that he may see good?
- 13
- Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile;
- 14
- Depart from evil, and do good;
seek peace, and pursue it.
- 15
- The eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their cry;
- 16
- The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, to cutoff the remembrance of them from the earth:
- 17
- [The righteous] cry, and Jehovah heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
- 18
- Jehovah is nigh to those that are of a broken heart, and saveth them that are of a contrite spirit.
- 19
- Many are the adversities of the righteous, but Jehovah delivereth him out of them all:
- 20
- He keepeth all his bones;
not one of them is broken.
- 21
- Evil shall destroy the wicked;
and they that hate the righteous shall bear their guilt.
- 22
- Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants;
and none of them that trust in him shall bear guilt.
