| 1 For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way. [1 Kings 21] | |
| 2 I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth. | |
| 3 In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice. | |
| 4 O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together. | |
| 5 I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles. | |
| 6 Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded. | |
| 7 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles. | |
| 8 The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them. | |
| 9 O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him. | |
| 10 Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. | |
| 11 The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good. | |
| 12 Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. | |
| 13 Who is the man that desireth life: who loveth to see good days? | |
| 14 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. | |
| 15 Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it. | |
| 16 The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers. | |
| 17 But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. | |
| 18 The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles. | |
| 19 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit. | |
| 20 Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them. | |
| 21 The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken. | |
| 22 The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty. | |
| 23 The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall offend. | |
