1 [{A Psalm} of David; when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.] I will bless Jehovah at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul shall make its boast in Jehovah: the meek shall hear, and rejoice.

3 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 enlightened, and their faces were not confounded.

6 This afflicted one called, 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 Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him!

9 Fear Jehovah, ye his saints; for there is no want to them that fear him.

10 The young lions are in need and suffer hunger; but they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good.

11 Come, ye sons, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

12 What man is he that desireth life, {and} loveth 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 upon the righteous, and his ears are toward 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} cry, and Jehovah heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

18 Jehovah is nigh to those that are of a broken heart, and saveth them that are of a contrite spirit.

19 Many are the adversities 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 destroy the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall bear their guilt.

22 Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall bear guilt.

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。
