1(34) [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his countenance before Abimelech; and he let him go, and he departed. I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall be continually in my mouth.
1Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2My soul shall boast herself in the Lord : let the meek hear, and rejoice.
2Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3Magnify you⌃ the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
3Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4I sought the Lord diligently, and he listened to me, and delivered me from all my sojournings.
4For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5Draw near to him, and be enlightened: and your faces shall not [by any means] be ashamed.
5He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6This poor man cried, and the Lord listened to him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions.
6By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7The angel of the Lord will encamp round about them that fear him, and will deliver them.
7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8Taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man who hopes in him.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9Fear the Lord, all you⌃ his saints: for there is no lack to them that fear him.
9For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10The rich have become poor and hungry: but they that seek the Lord diligently shall not lack any good thing. Pause.
10The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11Come, you⌃ children, hear me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord .
11The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12What man is there that desires life, loving to see good days?
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile.
13The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
14From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears [are open] to their prayer:
15He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord listened to them,
16There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17and delivered them out of all their afflictions.
17An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18The Lord is near to them that are of a contrite heart; and will save the lowly in spirit.
18Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but out of them all Lord will deliver them .
19To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20He keeps all their bones: not one of them shall be broken.
20Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.
21The death of sinners is evil: and they that hate righteousness will go wrong.
21For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of those that hope in him shall go wrong.
22Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
