1 Bendirei o Senhor em todo o tempo,

o seu louvor estará sempre nos meus lábios.

2 Gloriar-se-á no Senhor a minha alma;

os humildes o ouvirão e se alegrarão.

3 Engrandecei o Senhor comigo,

e todos, à uma, lhe exaltemos o nome.

4 Busquei o Senhor, e ele me acolheu;

livrou-me de todos os meus temores.

5 Contemplai-o e sereis iluminados,

e o vosso rosto jamais sofrerá vexame.

6 Clamou este aflito, e o Senhor o ouviu

e o livrou de todas as suas tribulações.

7 O anjo do Senhor acampa-se

ao redor dos que o temem e os livra.

8 Oh! Provai e vede que o Senhor é bom;

bem-aventurado o homem que nele se refugia.

9 Temei o Senhor, vós os seus santos,

pois nada falta aos que o temem.

10 Os leõezinhos sofrem necessidade e passam fome,

porém aos que buscam o Senhor bem nenhum lhes faltará.

11 Vinde, filhos, e escutai-me;

eu vos ensinarei o temor do Senhor.

12 Quem é o homem que ama a vida

e quer longevidade para ver o bem?

13 Refreia a língua do mal

e os lábios de falarem dolosamente.

14 Aparta-te do mal e pratica o que é bom;

procura a paz e empenha-te por alcançá-la.

15 Os olhos do Senhor repousam sobre os justos,

e os seus ouvidos estão abertos ao seu clamor.

16 O rosto do Senhor está contra os que praticam o mal,

para lhes extirpar da terra a memória.

17 Clamam os justos, e o Senhor os escuta

e os livra de todas as suas tribulações.

18 Perto está o Senhor dos que têm o coração quebrantado

e salva os de espírito oprimido.

19 Muitas são as aflições do justo,

mas o Senhor de todas o livra.

20 Preserva-lhe todos os ossos,

nem um deles sequer será quebrado.

21 O infortúnio matará o ímpio,

e os que odeiam o justo serão condenados.

22 O Senhor resgata a alma dos seus servos,

e dos que nele confiam nenhum será condenado.

1 I will bless Jehovah at all times:

His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul shall make her boast in Jehovah:

The meek shall hear thereof, and be glad.

3 Oh magnify Jehovah with me,

And let us exalt his name together.

4 I sought Jehovah, and he answered me,

And delivered me from all my fears.

5 They looked unto him, and were radiant;

And their faces shall never be confounded.

6 This poor man cried, and Jehovah heard him,

And saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him,

And delivereth them.

8 Oh taste and see that Jehovah is good:

Blessed is the man that taketh refuge in him.

9 Oh fear Jehovah, ye his saints;

For there is no want to them that fear him.

10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger;

But they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good thing.

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me:

I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

12 What man is he that desireth life,

And loveth many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep thy tongue from evil,

And thy lips from speaking guile.

14 Depart from evil, and do good;

Seek peace, and pursue it.

15 The eyes of Jehovah are toward the righteous,

And his ears are open unto their cry.

16 The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil,

To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cried, and Jehovah heard,

And delivered them out of all their troubles.

18 Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart,

And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous;

But Jehovah delivereth him out of them all.

20 He keepeth all his bones:

Not one of them is broken.

21 Evil shall slay the wicked;

And they that hate the righteous shall be condemned.

22 Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants;

And none of them that take refuge in him shall be condemned.

1 I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.

2 I will glory in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

3 Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.

4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.

8 Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

9 Fear the LORD, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.

10 The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

11 Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

12 Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,

13 keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.

14 Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry;

16 but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth.

17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.

18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

19 The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all;

20 he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.

21 Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned.

22 The LORD will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
