| 1 | For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way. [1 Kings 21] |
| 2 | I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth. |
| 3 | In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice. |
| 4 | O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together. |
| 5 | I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles. |
| 6 | Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded. |
| 7 | This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles. |
| 8 | The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them. |
| 9 | O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him. |
| 10 | Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. |
| 11 | The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good. |
| 12 | Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. |
| 13 | Who is the man that desireth life: who loveth to see good days? |
| 14 | Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. |
| 15 | Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it. |
| 16 | The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers. |
| 17 | But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. |
| 18 | The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles. |
| 19 | The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit. |
| 20 | Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them. |
| 21 | The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken. |
| 22 | The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty. |
| 23 | The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall offend. |
