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!
