1For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way. [1 Kings 21]
1Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
2I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.
2Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
3In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice.
3Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
4O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together.
4For the LORD’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
5I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.
5He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of the LORD.
6Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded.
6By the LORD’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.
7This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles.
7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.
8Let all the earth fear the LORD. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.
9For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
10Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
10The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
11The counsel of the LORD stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13Who is the man that desireth life: who loveth to see good days?
13The LORD looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.
14Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it.
15he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
16The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers.
16There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
18The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles.
18Behold, the LORD’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness,
19The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit.
19to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
20Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.
20Our soul has waited for the LORD. He is our help and our shield.
21The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.
21For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty.
22Let your loving kindness be on us, LORD, since we have hoped in you.
23The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall offend.
