1 我要时常称颂耶和华, 赞美他的话必常在我口中。

2 我的心要因耶和华夸耀, 困苦的人听见了就喜乐。

3 你们要跟我一起尊耶和华为大, 我们来一同高举他的名。

4 我曾求问耶和华, 他应允了我, 救我脱离一切恐惧。

5 人仰望他, 就有光彩, 他们的脸必不蒙羞。

6 我这困苦人呼求, 耶和华就垂听, 拯救我脱离一切患难。

7 耶和华的使者, 在敬畏他的人周围扎营, 搭救他们。

8 你们要亲自体验, 就知道耶和华是美善的; 投靠他的人, 都是有福的。

9 耶和华的圣民哪! 你们要敬畏他, 因为敬畏他的一无所缺。

10 少壮狮子有时还缺食挨饿, 但寻求耶和华的, 什么好处都不缺。

11 孩子们! 你们要来听我; 我要教导你们敬畏耶和华。

12 谁喜爱生命, 爱慕长寿, 享受美福,

13 就要禁止舌头不出恶言, 嘴唇不说诡诈的话;

14 也要离恶行善, 寻找并追求和睦。

15 耶和华的眼睛看顾义人, 他的耳朵垂听他们的呼求。

16 耶和华的脸敌对作恶的人, 要把他们的名从世上除掉。

17 义人哀求, 耶和华就垂听, 搭救他们脱离一切患难,

18 耶和华亲近心中破碎的人, 拯救灵里痛悔的人,

19 义人虽有许多苦难, 但耶和华搭救他脱离这一切。

20 耶和华保全他一身的骨头, 连一根也不容折断。

21 恶人必被恶害死; 憎恨义人的, 必被定罪。

22 耶和华救赎他仆人的性命; 凡是投靠他的, 必不被定罪。

A Psalm of David; when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.

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.
