| | 1 | Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left. I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. | |
| | 2 | My soul will boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. | |
| | 3 | Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together. | |
| | 4 | I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. | |
| | 5 | Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. | |
| | 6 | This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. | |
| | 7 | The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. | |
| | 8 | Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. | |
| | 9 | Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing. | |
| | 10 | The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. | |
| | 11 | Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. | |
| | 12 | Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, | |
| | 13 | keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. | |
| | 14 | Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. | |
| | 15 | The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry; | |
| | 16 | the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. | |
| | 17 | The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. | |
| | 18 | The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. | |
| | 19 | A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all; | |
| | 20 | he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. | |
| | 21 | Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned. | |
| | 22 | The LORD redeems his servants; no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him. | |
