A Psalm of David when he pretended madness before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. |
1 |
I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
|
2 |
My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
|
3 |
Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.
|
4 |
I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.
|
5 |
They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed.
|
6 |
This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.
|
7 |
The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.
|
8 |
Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
|
9 |
Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him.
|
10 |
The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
|
11 |
Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
|
12 |
Who is the man who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good?
|
13 |
Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit.
|
14 |
Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.
|
15 |
The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry.
|
16 |
The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
|
17 |
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.
|
18 |
The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
|
19 |
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
|
20 |
He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken.
|
21 |
Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
|
22 |
The LORD redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
