[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.
