[1] I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. [2] My soul will make its boast in the LORD; The humble will hear it and rejoice. [3] O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together. [4] I sought the LORD, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears. [5] They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces will never be 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 encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues them. [8] O taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! [9] O fear the LORD, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want. [10] The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the LORD shall not be in want of any good thing. [11] Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. [12] Who is the man who desires life And loves length of days that he may see good? [13] Keep your tongue from evil And your lips from speaking deceit. [14] Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. [15] The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous And His ears are open to their cry. [16] The face of the LORD is against evildoers, To cut off the memory of them from the earth. [17] The righteous cry, and the LORD hears And delivers them out of all their troubles. [18] The LORD is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit. [19] Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all. [20] He keeps all his bones, Not one of them is broken. [21] Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous will be condemned. [22] The LORD redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.
