| 1 | To David, when he changed his appearance in the sight of Abimelech, and so he dismissed him, and he went away. |
| 2 | I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise will be ever in my mouth. |
| 3 | In the Lord, my soul will be praised. May the meek listen and rejoice. |
| 4 | Magnify the Lord with me, and let us extol his name in itself. |
| 5 | I sought the Lord, and he heeded me, and he carried me away from all my tribulations. |
| 6 | Approach him and be enlightened, and your faces will not be confounded. |
| 7 | This poor one cried out, and the Lord heeded him, and he saved him from all his tribulations. |
| 8 | The Angel of the Lord will encamp around those who fear him, and he will rescue them. |
| 9 | Taste and see that the Lord is sweet. Blessed is the man who hopes in him. |
| 10 | Fear the Lord, all you his saints. For there is no destitution for those who fear him. |
| 11 | The rich have been needy and hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not be deprived of any good thing. |
| 12 | Come forward, sons. Listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the Lord. |
| 13 | Which is the man who wills life, who chooses to see good days? |
| 14 | Prohibit your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. |
| 15 | Turn away from evil, and do good. Inquire about peace, and pursue it. |
| 16 | The eyes of the Lord are on the just, and his ears are with their prayers. |
| 17 | But the countenance of the Lord is upon those who do evil, to perish the remembrance of them from the earth. |
| 18 | The just cried out, and the Lord heard them, and he freed them from all their tribulations. |
| 19 | The Lord is near to those who are troubled in heart, and he will save the humble in spirit. |
| 20 | Many are the afflictions of the just, but from them all the Lord will free them. |
| 21 | The Lord preserves all of their bones, not one of them shall be broken. |
| 22 | The death of a sinner is very harmful, and those who hate the just will fare badly. |
| 23 | The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants, and none of those who hope in him will fare badly. |
