| 1. | By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise `is' in my mouth. |
| 2. | In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice. |
| 3. | Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together. |
| 4. | I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me. |
| 5. | They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed. |
| 6. | This poor `one' called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him. |
| 7. | A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them. |
| 8. | Taste ye and see that Jehovah `is' good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him. |
| 9. | Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him. |
| 10. | Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good, |
| 11. | Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you. |
| 12. | Who `is' the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good? |
| 13. | Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit. |
| 14. | Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it. |
| 15. | The eyes of Jehovah `are' unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry. |
| 16. | (The face of Jehovah `is' on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.) |
| 17. | They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them. |
| 18. | Near `is' Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth. |
| 19. | Many `are' the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him. |
| 20. | He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken. |
| 21. | Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate. |
| 22. | Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate! |
