By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.

[1] I will bless Yahweh at all times.
His praise will always be in my mouth.
[2] My soul shall boast in Yahweh.
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
[3] Oh magnify Yahweh with me.
Let’s 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.
Their faces shall never be covered with shame.
[6] This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him,
and saved him out of all his troubles.
[7] Yahweh’s angel encamps around those who fear him,
and delivers them.
[8] Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good.
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
[9] Oh fear Yahweh, you his saints,
for there is no lack with those who fear him.
[10] The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger,
but those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing. [11] Come, you children, listen to me.
I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.
[12] Who is someone who desires life,
and loves many days, that he may see good?
[13] Keep your tongue from evil,
and your lips from speaking lies.
[14] Depart from evil, and do good.
Seek peace, and pursue it.
[15] Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous.
His ears listen to their cry.
[16] Yahweh’s face is against those who do evil,
to cut off their memory from the earth.
[17] The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears,
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
[18] Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart,
and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
[19] Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but Yahweh delivers him out of them all.
[20] He protects all of his bones.
Not one of them is broken.
[21] Evil shall kill the wicked.
Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
[22] Yahweh redeems the soul of his servants.
None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
