- A Psalme of Dauid,
when he changed his behauiour before Abimelech, who droue him away, and he departed.
- 1
- I will alway giue thankes vnto the Lorde: his praise shalbe in my mouth continually.
- 2
- My soule shall glory in the Lord: the humble shall heare it, and be glad.
- 3
- Praise ye the Lord with me, and let vs magnifie his Name together.
- 4
- I sought the Lord, and he heard me: yea, he deliuered me out of all my feare.
- 5
- They shall looke vnto him, and runne to him: and their faces shall not be ashamed, saying,
- 6
- This poore man cryed, and the Lord heard him, and saued him out of all his troubles.
- 7
- The Angel of the Lorde pitcheth round about them, that feare him, and deliuereth them.
- 8
- Taste ye and see, howe gratious the Lorde is: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
- 9
- Feare the Lord, ye his Saintes: for nothing wanteth to them that feare him.
- 10
- The lyons doe lacke and suffer hunger, but they, which seeke the Lord, shall want nothing that is good.
- 11
- Come children, hearken vnto me: I will teache you the feare of the Lord.
- 12
- What man is he, that desireth life, and loueth long dayes for to see good?
- 13
- Keepe thy tongue from euill, and thy lips, that they speake no guile.
- 14
- Eschewe euill and doe good: seeke peace and followe after it.
- 15
- The eyes of the Lord are vpon the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their crie.
- 16
- But the face of the Lord is against them that doe euill, to cut off their remembrance from the earth.
- 17
- The righteous crie, and the Lorde heareth them, and deliuereth them out of all their troubles.
- 18
- The Lord is neere vnto them that are of a contrite heart, and will saue such as be afflicted in Spirite.
- 19
- Great are the troubles of the righteous: but the Lord deliuereth him out of them all.
- 20
- He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
- 21
- But malice shal slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous, shall perish.
- 22
- The Lord redeemeth the soules of his seruants: and none, that trust in him, shall perish.
