[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] Exalt the Lord with me, And let’s exalt His name together. [4] I sought the Lord and He answered me, And rescued me from all my fears. [5] They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces will never be ashamed. [6] This wretched man cried out, 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] Taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! [9] Fear the Lord, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no lack of anything. [10] The young lions do without and suffer hunger; But they who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing. [11] Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. [12] Who is the person 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] Turn from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. [15] The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, And His ears are toward their cry for help. [16] The face of the Lord is against evildoers, To eliminate the memory of them from the earth. [17] The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears And rescues them from all their troubles. [18] The Lord is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit. [19] The afflictions of the righteous are many, But the Lord rescues him from them all. [20] He protects all his bones, Not one of them is broken. [21] Evil will bring death to the wicked, And those who hate the righteous will suffer for their guilt. [22] The Lord redeems the souls of His servants, And none of those who take refuge in Him will suffer for their guilt.
