Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left. I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
|
|

My soul will boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
|
|
3.
Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.
|
|
4.
I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
|
|

Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
|
|

This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.
|
|
7.
The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.
|
|

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing.
|
|
10.
The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
|
|

Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
|
|
12.
Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
|
|
13.
keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.
|
|
14.
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
|

15.
The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry;
|
|
16.
the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.
|
|
18.
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all;
|
|

he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.

Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
|
|
22.
The LORD redeems his servants; no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.
