| 2 I will bless the Lord all my days; his praise will be ever on my lips. | |
| 3 My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the lowly hear and rejoice. | |
| 4 Oh, let us magnify the Lord, together let us glorify his name! | |
| 5 I sought the Lord, and he answered me; from all my fears he delivered me. | |
| 6 They who look to him are radiant with joy, their faces never clouded with shame. | |
| 7 When the poor cry out, the Lord hears and saves them from distress. | |
| 8 The Lord’s angel encamps and patrols to keep safe those who fear him. | |
| 9 Oh, see and taste the goodness of the Lord! Blessed is the one who finds shelter in him! | |
| 10 Revere the Lord, all you his saints, for those who fear him do not live in want. | |
| 11 The mighty may be hungry and in need, but those who seek the Lord lack nothing. | |
| 12 Come, listen to me, my children; I will show you how to fear the Lord. | |
| 13 If you desire long life, if you want to enjoy prosperity, | |
| 14 keep your tongue from falsehood, keep your lips from deceit; | |
| 15 turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. | |
| 16 The eyes of the Lord are fixed on the righteous; his ears are inclined to their cries. | |
| 17 But his face is set against the wicked to destroy their memory from the earth. | |
| 18 The Lord hears the cry of the righteous and rescues them from all their troubles. | |
| 19 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves the distraught. | |
| 20 Many are the troubles of the just, but the Lord delivers them from all. | |
| 21 He keeps all their bones intact, and none of them will be broken. | |
| 22 Evil will slay the wicked; the enemies of the just will be doomed. | |
| 23 But the Lord will redeem the life of his servants; none of those who trust in him will be doomed. | |
