[1]I will alway give thanks unto the Lord: his praise shall be in my mouth continually.
[2]My soul shall glory in the Lord: the humble shall hear it, and be glad.
[3]Praise ye the Lord with me, and let us magnify his name together.
[4]I sought the Lord, and he heard me: yea, he delivered me out of all my fear.
[5]They shall look unto him, and run to him: and their faces shall not be ashamed, saying,
[6]This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
[7]The angel of the Lord pitcheth round about them, that fear him, and delivereth them.
[8]Taste ye and see, how gracious the Lord is: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
[9]Fear the Lord, ye his saints: for nothing wanteth to them that fear him.
[10]The lions do lack and suffer hunger, but they, which seek the Lord, shall want nothing that is good.
[11]Come children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
[12]What man is he, that desireth life, and loveth long days for to see good?
[13]Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips, that they speak no guile.
[14]Eschew evil and do good: seek peace and follow after it.
[15]The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
[16]But the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off their remembrance from the earth.
[17]The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth them, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
[18]The Lord is near unto them that are of a contrite heart, and will save such as be afflicted in Spirit.
[19]Great are the troubles 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]But malice shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous, shall perish.
[22]The Lord redeemeth the souls of his servants: and none, that trust in him, shall perish.
