[1] By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise [is] in my mouth.
[2] In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice.
[3] Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together.
[4] I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.
[5] They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed.
[6] This poor [one] called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him.
[7] A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them.
[8] Taste ye and see that Jehovah [is] good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.
[9] Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.
[10] Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,
[11] Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you.
[12] Who [is] the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?
[13] Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit.
[14] Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.
[15] The eyes of Jehovah [are] unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.
[16] (The face of Jehovah [is] on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)
[17] They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them.
[18] Near [is] Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth.
[19] Many [are] the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him.
[20] He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken.
[21] Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate.
[22] Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!
