A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour
before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he
departed.
I will
bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall
continually be in my mouth.
02 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the
humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
03 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt
his name together.
04 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and
delivered me from all my fears.
05 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and
their faces were not ashamed.
06 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him,
and saved him out of all his troubles.
07 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about
them that fear him, and delivereth them.
08 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed
is the man that trusteth in him.
09 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is
no want to them that fear him.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger:
but they that seek the Lord shall not want any
good thing.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will
teach you the fear of the Lord.

12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth
many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from
speaking guile.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and
pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous,
and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against them that do
evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the
earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and
delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a
broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite
spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but
the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is
broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate
the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants:
and none of them that trust in him shall be
desolate.
