1Of David, when he fained him self to be made before Abimelech: which drove him away, and he departed. I will alway give thanks unto the LORD, his praise shall ever be in my mouth.
2My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble(poor oppressed) shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3O praise the LORD with me, and let us magnify his name together.
4I sought the LORD, and he heard me, yea he delivered me out of all my fear.
5They that have a eye unto him, shall be lightened, and their faces shall not be ashamed.
6This poor man cried unto the LORD, and he heard him, yea and delivered him out of all his troubles.
7The Angel of the LORD pitcheth his tent round about him(them) that fear him, and delivereth them.
8O taste and see how friendly the LORD is, blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9O fear the LORD, ye that be his saints: for they that fear him, lack nothing.
10The rich shall want and suffer hunger, but they which seek the LORD, shall want no manner of thing, that is good.
11Come hither, O ye children, hearken unto me, I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12Who so listeth to live, and would fain see good days.
13Let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.
14Let him eschew evil, and do good: Let him seek peace and ensue it.
15For the eyes of the LORD are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers.
16But the face of the LORD beholdeth them that do evil, to destroy the remembrance of them out of the earth.
17When the righteous cry, the LORD heareth them, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18The LORD is nigh unto them that are contrite in heart, and will help such as be of an humble spirit.
19Great are the troubles of the righteous, but the LORD delivereth them out of all.
20He keepeth all their bones, so that not one of them is broken.
21But misfortune shall slay the ungodly, and they that hate the righteous shall be guilty.
22The LORD delivereth the souls of his servants, and all they that put their trust in him, shall not offend.
