1 H1732 A Psalm of David H8138 , when he changed [H8763] H2940 his behaviour H6440 before H40 Abimelech H1644 ; who drove him away [H8762] H3212 , and he departed [H8799] H1288 . I will bless [H8762] H3068 the LORD H6256 at all times H8416 : his praise H8548 shall continually H6310 be in my mouth.

2 H5315 My soul H1984 shall make her boast [H8691] H3068 in the LORD H6035 : the humble H8085 shall hear [H8799] H8055 thereof, and be glad [H8799] .

3 H1431 O magnify [H8761] H3068 the LORD H7311 with me, and let us exalt [H8787] H8034 his name H3162 together.

4 H1875 I sought [H8804] H3068 the LORD H6030 , and he heard [H8804] H5337 me, and delivered [H8689] H4035 me from all my fears.

5 H5027 They looked [H8689] H5102 unto him, and were lightened [H8804] H6440 : and their faces H2659 were not ashamed [H8799] .

6 H6041 This poor man H7121 cried [H8804] H3068 , and the LORD H8085 heard [H8804] H3467 him, and saved [H8689] H6869 him out of all his troubles.

7 H4397 The angel H3068 of the LORD H2583 encampeth [H8802] H5439 round about H3373 them that fear H2502 him, and delivereth [H8762] them.

8 H2938 O taste [H8798] H7200 and see [H8798] H3068 that the LORD H2896 is good H835 : blessed H1397 is the man H2620 that trusteth [H8799] in him.

9 H3372 O fear [H8798] H3068 the LORD H6918 , ye his saints H4270 : for there is no want H3373 to them that fear him.

10 H3715 The young lions H7326 do lack [H8804] H7456 , and suffer hunger [H8804] H1875 : but they that seek [H8802] H3068 the LORD H2637 shall not want [H8799] H2896 any good thing .

11 H3212 Come [H8798] H1121 , ye children H8085 , hearken [H8798] H3925 unto me: I will teach [H8762] H3374 you the fear H3068 of the LORD.

12 H376 What man H2655 is he that desireth H2416 life H157 , and loveth [H8802] H3117 many days H7200 , that he may see [H8800] H2896 good?

13 H5341 Keep [H8798] H3956 thy tongue H7451 from evil H8193 , and thy lips H1696 from speaking [H8763] H4820 guile.

14 H5493 Depart [H8798] H7451 from evil H6213 , and do [H8798] H2896 good H1245 ; seek [H8761] H7965 peace H7291 , and pursue [H8798] it.

15 H5869 The eyes H3068 of the LORD H6662 are upon the righteous H241 , and his ears H7775 are open unto their cry.

16 H6440 The face H3068 of the LORD H6213 is against them that do [H8802] H7451 evil H3772 , to cut off [H8687] H2143 the remembrance H776 of them from the earth.

17 H6817 The righteous cry [H8804] H3068 , and the LORD H8085 heareth [H8804] H5337 , and delivereth [H8689] H6869 them out of all their troubles.

18 H3068 The LORD H7138 is nigh H7665 unto them that are of a broken [H8737] H3820 heart H3467 ; and saveth [H8686] H1793 such as be of a contrite H7307 spirit.

19 H7227 Many H7451 are the afflictions H6662 of the righteous H3068 : but the LORD H5337 delivereth [H8686] him out of them all.

20 H8104 He keepeth [H8802] H6106 all his bones H259 : not one H2007 of them H7665 is broken [H8738] .

21 H7451 Evil H4191 shall slay [H8787] H7563 the wicked H8130 : and they that hate [H8802] H6662 the righteous H816 shall be desolate [H8799] .

22 H3068 The LORD H6299 redeemeth [H8802] H5315 the soul H5650 of his servants H2620 : and none of them that trust [H8802] H816 in him shall be desolate [H8799] .
