¹ A Psalm of David; when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless Yahweh at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.² My soul shall make her boast in Yahweh: The meek shall hear thereof, and be glad.³ Oh magnify Yahweh with me, And let us exalt his name together.⁴ I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.⁵ They looked to him, and were radiant; And their faces shall never be confounded.⁶ This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.⁷ The angel of Yahweh encamps round about those that fear him, And delivers them.⁸ Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good: Blessed is the [noble] man that takes refuge in him.⁹ Oh fear Yahweh, you his saints; For there is no want to those that fear him.¹⁰ The young lions lack, and suffer hunger; But those that seek Yahweh shall not want any good thing.

¹¹ Come, you sons, listen to me: I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.¹² What man is he that desires life, And loves [many] days, that he may see good?¹³ Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking guile.¹⁴ Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it.¹⁵ The eyes of Yahweh are toward the righteous, And his ears are [open] to their cry.¹⁶ The face of Yahweh is against those that do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.¹⁷ [The righteous] cried, and Yahweh heard, And delivered them out of all their troubles.¹⁸ Yahweh is near to those that are of a broken heart, And saves such as are of a contrite spirit.¹⁹ Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But Yahweh delivers him out of them all.²⁰ He keeps all his bones: Not one of them is broken.²¹ Evil shall slay the wicked; And those that hate the righteous shall be condemned.²² Yahweh redeems the soul of his slaves; And none of those that take refuge in him shall be condemned.
