[1] I WILL bless the LORD at all times; his praises shall continually be in my mouth.
[2] My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and be glad.
[3] O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
[4] I sought the LORD, and he heard and delivered me from all my troubles.
[5] Look towards him and trust in him, and you shall not be disappointed.
[6] This poor man called on him, and he heard him and saved him from all his troubles.
[7] The host of angels of the LORD encamps round about them that worship him, and delivers them.
[8] O taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man that trusts in him.
[9] The rich have become poor and suffer hunger;
[10] They that seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
[11] Come, you children, listen to me, and I will teach you reverence for the LORD.
[12] Where is the man who desires not life and many days that he may see the good time to come?
[13] Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking guile.
[14] Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
[15] The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to hear them.
[16] The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
[17] The righteous cried, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
[18] The LORD is near to them that are brokenhearted, and he saves those who are humble in spirit.
[19] Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the LORD delivers him out of them all.
[20] He keeps all his bones, not one of them is broken.
[21] Evil shall slay the wicked, and they that hate the righteous shall be destroyed.
[22] The LORD redeems the soul of his servants, and none of them that trust in him shall be condemned.
