1 [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. [Aleph] I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise [shall] continually [be] in my mouth.2 [Beth] My soul shall glory in the LORD; the meek shall hear [of this], and be glad.3 [Gimel] O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.4 [Daleth] I sought the LORD, and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears.5 [He] They looked unto him and were lightened, and their faces were not ashamed.6 [Vau] This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard [him] and saved him out of all his troubles.7 [Zain] The angel of the LORD encamps round about those that fear him and delivers them.8 [Cheth] O taste and see that the LORD [is] good; blessed [is] the man [that] shall trust in him.9 [Teth] O fear the LORD, ye his saints; for those that fear him lack nothing.10 [Jod] The young lions do lack and suffer hunger, but those that seek the LORD shall not lack any good [thing].11 [Caph] Come, ye children, hearken unto me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.12 [Lamed] Who [is] the man that desires life [and] loves [many] days that he may see good?13 [Mem] Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.14 [Nun] Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.15 [Samech] The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their cry.16 [Ain] The anger of the LORD [is] against those that do evil to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.17 [Pe] [The righteous] cried out, and the LORD heard and delivered them out of all their troubles.18 [Tzaddi] The LORD [is] near unto those that are of a broken heart and saves such as are of a contrite spirit.19 [Koph] Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD shall deliver him out of them all,20 [Resh] keeping all his bones; not one of them shall be broken.21 [Schin] Evil shall slay the wicked; and those that hate the righteous shall be [declared] guilty.22 [Tau] The LORD ransoms the soul of his servants, and none of those that trust in him shall be [declared] guilty.:

1 I will bless the LORD at all times.

His praise will always be in my mouth.

2 My soul shall boast in the LORD.

The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

3 Oh magnify the LORD with me.

Let’s exalt his name together.

4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me,

and delivered me from all my fears.

5 They looked to him, and were radiant.

Their faces shall never be covered with shame.

6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him,

and saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The LORD’s angel encamps around those who fear him,

and delivers them.

8 Oh taste and see that the LORD is good.

Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

9 Oh fear the LORD, you his holy ones,

for there is no lack with those who fear him.

10 The young lions do 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 someone who desires life,

and loves many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep your tongue from evil,

and your lips from speaking lies.

14 Depart from evil, and do good.

Seek peace, and pursue it.

15 The LORD’s eyes are toward the righteous.

His ears listen to their cry.

16 The LORD’s face is against those who do evil,

to cut off their memory from the earth.

17 The righteous cry, 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 those who have a crushed spirit.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,

but the LORD delivers him out of them all.

20 He protects all of his bones.

Not one of them is broken.

21 Evil shall kill the wicked.

Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

22 The LORD redeems the soul of his servants.

None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
