1 ¶ Aleph I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 B eth My soul shall glory in the LORD; the meek shall hear of this, and be glad.

3 G imel O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

4 D aleth I sought the LORD, and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears.

5 H e They looked unto him and were lightened, and their faces were not ashamed.

6 V au This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him and saved him out of all his troubles.

7 Z ain The angel of the LORD encamps round about those that fear him and delivers them.

8 C heth O taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man that shall trust in him.

9 T eth O fear the LORD, ye his saints; for those that fear him lack nothing.

10 J od The young lions do lack and suffer hunger, but those that seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

11 ¶ Caph Come, ye children, hearken unto me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

12 L amed Who is the man that desires life and loves many days that he may see good?

13 M em Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

14 N un Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

15 S amech The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

16 A in The anger of the LORD is against those that do evil to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 P e The righteous cried out, and the LORD heard and delivered them out of all their troubles.

18 T zaddi The LORD is near unto those that are of a broken heart and saves such as are of a contrite spirit.

19 K oph Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD shall deliver him out of them all,

20 R esh keeping all his bones; not one of them shall be broken.

21 S chin Evil shall slay the wicked; and those that hate the righteous shall be declared guilty.

22 T au The LORD ransoms the soul of his slaves, and none of those that trust in him shall be declared guilty.
