[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.
