¹ [A Psalm] of David; when he changed his demeanour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.² I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.³ My soul shall glory in the LORD; the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.⁴ O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together.⁵ I sought the LORD, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.⁶ They looked unto Him, and were radiant; and their faces shall never be abashed.⁷ This poor man cried, and the LORD heard, and saved him out of all his troubles.⁸ The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them.⁹ O consider and see that the LORD is good; happy is the man that taketh refuge in Him.¹⁰ O fear the LORD, ye His holy ones; for there is no want to them that fear Him.

¹¹ The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but they that seek the LORD want not any good thing.¹² Come, ye children, hearken unto me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.¹³ Who is the man that desireth life, and loveth days, that he may see good therein?¹⁴ Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.¹⁵ Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.¹⁶ The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry.¹⁷ The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.¹⁸ They cried, and the LORD heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.¹⁹ The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.²⁰ Many are the ills of the righteous, but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.²¹ He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.²² Evil shall kill the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall be held guilty.

²³ The LORD redeemeth the soul of His servants; and none of them that take refuge in Him shall be desolate.
