[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.

[8] Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

[1] [33:1] τω δαυιδ οποτε ηλλοιωσεν το προσωπον αυτου εναντιον αβιμελεχ και απελυσεν αυτον και απηλθεν [33:2] ευλογησω τον κυριον εν παντι καιρω δια παντος η αινεσις αυτου εν τω στοματι μου
[2] [33:3] εν τω κυριω επαινεσθησεται η ψυχη μου ακουσατωσαν πραεις και ευφρανθητωσαν
[3] [33:4] μεγαλυνατε τον κυριον συν εμοι και υψωσωμεν το ονομα αυτου επι το αυτο
[4] [33:5] εξεζητησα τον κυριον και επηκουσεν μου και εκ πασων των παροικιων μου ερρυσατο με
[5] [33:6] προσελθατε προς αυτον και φωτισθητε και τα προσωπα υμων ου μη καταισχυνθη
[6] [33:7] ουτος ο πτωχος εκεκραξεν και ο κυριος εισηκουσεν αυτου και εκ πασων των θλιψεων αυτου εσωσεν αυτον
[7] [33:8] παρεμβαλει αγγελος κυριου κυκλω των φοβουμενων αυτον και ρυσεται αυτους
[8] [33:9] γευσασθε και ιδετε οτι χρηστος ο κυριος μακαριος ανηρ ος ελπιζει επ αυτον
[9] [33:10] φοβηθητε τον κυριον οι αγιοι αυτου οτι ουκ εστιν υστερημα τοις φοβουμενοις αυτον
[10] [33:11] πλουσιοι επτωχευσαν και επεινασαν οι δε εκζητουντες τον κυριον ουκ ελαττωθησονται παντος αγαθου διαψαλμα
[11] [33:12] δευτε τεκνα ακουσατε μου φοβον κυριου διδαξω υμας
[12] [33:13] τις εστιν ανθρωπος ο θελων ζωην αγαπων ημερας ιδειν αγαθας
[13] [33:14] παυσον την γλωσσαν σου απο κακου και χειλη σου του μη λαλησαι δολον
[14] [33:15] εκκλινον απο κακου και ποιησον αγαθον ζητησον ειρηνην και διωξον αυτην
[15] [33:16] οφθαλμοι κυριου επι δικαιους και ωτα αυτου εις δεησιν αυτων
