1 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 M y soul will make its boast in the Lord; The humble will hear it and rejoice.

3 O magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together.

4 I sought the Lord, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.

5 T hey looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces will never be ashamed.

6 T his poor man cried, and the Lord heard him And saved him out of all his troubles.

7 T he angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues them.

8 O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!

9 O fear the Lord, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want.

10 T he young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing.

11 C ome, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12 W ho is the man who desires life And loves length of days that he may see good?

13 K eep your tongue from evil And your lips from speaking deceit.

14 D epart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.

15 T he eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous And His ears are open to their cry.

16 T he face of the Lord is against evildoers, To cut off the memory of them from the earth.

17 T he righteous cry, and the Lord hears And delivers them out of all their troubles.

18 T he Lord is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit.

19 M any are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.

20 H e keeps all his bones, Not one of them is broken.

21 E vil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous will be condemned.

22 T he Lord redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.
