¹ A Psalm of David; when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. ² My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the meek shall hear thereof, and be glad.³ O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.⁴ I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.⁵ They looked unto him, and were lightened: ⁶ This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.⁷ The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.⁸ O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.⁹ O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.¹⁰ The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

¹¹ Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.¹² What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?¹³ Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.¹⁴ Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.¹⁵ The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.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 heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.¹⁸ The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.¹⁹ Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.²⁰ He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.²¹ Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be condemned.²² The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be condemned.
