A Psalm of David,
when he changed
his behaviour
before
Abimelech;
who drove him away,
and he departed.
I will bless
the LORD
at all times:
his praise
shall continually
be in my mouth.
My soul
shall make her boast
in the LORD:
the humble
shall hear
thereof, and be glad.
O magnify
the LORD
with me, and let us exalt
his name
together.
I sought
the LORD,
and he heard
me, and delivered
me from all my fears.
They looked
unto him, and were lightened:
and their faces
were not ashamed.
This poor man
cried,
and the LORD
heard
him, and saved
him out of all his troubles.
The angel
of the LORD
encampeth
round about
them that fear
him, and delivereth
them.
O taste
and see
that the LORD
is good:
blessed
is the man
that trusteth
in him.
O fear
the LORD,
ye his saints:
for there is no want
to them that fear
him.
The young lions
do lack,
and suffer hunger:
but they that seek
the LORD
shall not want
any good
thing.
Come,
ye children,
hearken
unto me: I will teach
you the fear
of the LORD.
What man
is he that desireth
life,
and loveth
many days,
that he may see
good?
Keep
thy tongue
from evil,
and thy lips
from speaking
guile.
Depart
from evil,
and do
good;
seek
peace,
and pursue
it.
The eyes
of the LORD
are upon the righteous,
and his ears
are open unto their cry.
The face
of the LORD
is against them that do
evil,
to cut off
the remembrance
of them from the earth.
The righteous cry,
and the LORD
heareth,
and delivereth
them out of all their troubles.
The LORD
is nigh
unto them that are of a broken
heart;
and saveth
such as be of a contrite
spirit.
Many
are the afflictions
of the righteous:
but the LORD
delivereth
him out of them all.
He keepeth
all his bones:
not one
of them
is broken.
Evil
shall slay
the wicked:
and they that hate
the righteous
shall be desolate.
The LORD
redeemeth
the soul
of his servants:
and none of them that trust
in him shall be desolate.
