1
A Psalm of David[H1732], when he changed[H8138] his behaviour[H2940]before[H6440]Abimelech[H40]; who drove him away[H1644], and he departed[H3212]. I will bless[H1288] the LORD[H3068] at all times[H6256]: his praise[H8416] shall continually[H8548] be in my mouth[H6310].
2
My soul[H5315] shall make her boast[H1984] in the LORD[H3068]: the humble[H6035] shall hear[H8085] thereof, and be glad[H8055].
3
O magnify[H1431] the LORD[H3068] with me, and let us exalt[H7311] his name[H8034]together[H3162].
4
I sought[H1875] the LORD[H3068], and he heard[H6030] me, and delivered[H5337] me from all my fears[H4035].
5
They looked[H5027] unto him, and were lightened[H5102]: and their faces[H6440] were not ashamed[H2659].
6
This poor man[H6041]cried[H7121], and the LORD[H3068]heard[H8085] him, and saved[H3467] him out of all his troubles[H6869].
7
The angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068]encampeth[H2583] round about[H5439] them that fear[H3373] him, and delivereth[H2502] them.
8
O taste[H2938] and see[H7200] that the LORD[H3068] is good[H2896]: blessed[H835] is the man[H1397] that trusteth[H2620] in him.
9
O fear[H3372] the LORD[H3068], ye his saints[H6918]: for there is no want[H4270] to them that fear[H3373] him.
10
The young lions[H3715] do lack[H7326], and suffer hunger[H7456]: but they that seek[H1875] the LORD[H3068] shall not want[H2637] any good[H2896] thing.
11Come[H3212], ye children[H1121], hearken[H8085] unto me: I will teach[H3925] you the fear[H3374] of the LORD[H3068].
12
What man[H376] is he that desireth[H2655]life[H2416], and loveth[H157] many days[H3117], that he may see[H7200]good?[H2896]
13Keep[H5341] thy tongue[H3956] from evil[H7451], and thy lips[H8193] from speaking[H1696]guile[H4820].
14Depart[H5493] from evil[H7451], and do[H6213]good[H2896]; seek[H1245]peace[H7965], and pursue[H7291] it.
15
The eyes[H5869] of the LORD[H3068] are upon the righteous[H6662], and his ears[H241] are open unto their cry[H7775].
16
The face[H6440] of the LORD[H3068] is against them that do[H6213]evil[H7451], to cut off[H3772] the remembrance[H2143] of them from the earth[H776].
17
The righteous cry[H6817], and the LORD[H3068]heareth[H8085], and delivereth[H5337] them out of all their troubles[H6869].
18
The LORD[H3068] is nigh[H7138] unto them that are of a broken[H7665]heart[H3820]; and saveth[H3467] such as be of a contrite[H1793]spirit[H7307].
19Many[H7227] are the afflictions[H7451] of the righteous[H6662]: but the LORD[H3068]delivereth[H5337] him out of them all.
20
He keepeth[H8104] all his bones[H6106]: not one[H259] of them[H2007] is broken[H7665].
21Evil[H7451] shall slay[H4191] the wicked[H7563]: and they that hate[H8130] the righteous[H6662] shall be desolate[H816].
22
The LORD[H3068]redeemeth[H6299] the soul[H5315] of his servants[H5650]: and none of them that trust[H2620] in him shall be desolate[H816].
