1: ([A Psalm] of David; when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.) I will bless Jehovah at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2: My soul shall make its boast in Jehovah: the meek shall hear, and rejoice. 3: Magnify Jehovah with me, and let us exalt his name together. 4: I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5: They looked unto him, and were enlightened, and their faces were not confounded. 6: This afflicted one called, and Jehovah heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles. 7: The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 8: Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him! 9: Fear Jehovah, ye his saints; for there is no want to them that fear him. 10: The young lions are in need and suffer hunger; but they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good. 11: Come, ye sons, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah. 12: What man is he that desireth life, [and] loveth 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 Jehovah are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their cry; 16: The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth: 17: [The righteous] cry, and Jehovah heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18: Jehovah is nigh to those that are of a broken heart, and saveth them that are of a contrite spirit. 19: Many are the adversities of the righteous, but Jehovah delivereth him out of them all: 20: He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken. 21: Evil shall destroy the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall bear their guilt. 22: Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall bear guilt.
