[1] 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 thereof, 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 unto 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 round about 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 unto 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 unto 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 unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be 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.
