A Psalm of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. |
2
|
My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear of it and be glad. |
3
|
O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. |
4
|
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. |
5
|
They looked to him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. |
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 around 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 to 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 upon the righteous, and his ears are open to 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 cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. |
18
|
The LORD is nigh to them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as are 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 desolate. |
22
|
The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. |
