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