[2] My soul H5315 shall make her boast H1984 (8691) in the LORD H3068: the humble H6035 shall hear H8085 (8799) [thereof], and be glad H8055 (8799).
[3] O magnify H1431 (8761) the LORD H3068 with me, and let us exalt H7311 (8787) his name H8034 together H3162.
[4] I sought H1875 (8804) the LORD H3068, and he heard H6030 (8804) me, and delivered H5337 (8689) me from all my fears H4035.
[5] They looked H5027 (8689) unto him, and were lightened H5102 (8804): and their faces H6440 were not ashamed H2659 (8799).
[6] This poor man H6041 cried H7121 (8804), and the LORD H3068 heard H8085 (8804) [him], and saved H3467 (8689) him out of all his troubles H6869.
[7] The angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 encampeth H2583 (8802) round about H5439 them that fear H3373 him, and delivereth H2502 (8762) them.
[8] O taste H2938 (8798) and see H7200 (8798) that the LORD H3068 [is] good H2896: blessed H835 [is] the man H1397 [that] trusteth H2620 (8799) in him.
[9] O fear H3372 (8798) the LORD H3068, ye his saints H6918: for [there is] no want H4270 to them that fear H3373 him.
[10] The young lions H3715 do lack H7326 (8804), and suffer hunger H7456 (8804): but they that seek H1875 (8802) the LORD H3068 shall not want H2637 (8799) any good H2896 [thing].
[11] Come H3212 (8798), ye children H1121, hearken H8085 (8798) unto me: I will teach H3925 (8762) you the fear H3374 of the LORD H3068.
[12] What man H376 [is he that] desireth H2655 life H2416, [and] loveth H157 (8802) [many] days H3117, that he may see H7200 (8800) good H2896?
[13] Keep H5341 (8798) thy tongue H3956 from evil H7451, and thy lips H8193 from speaking H1696 (8763) guile H4820.
[14] Depart H5493 (8798) from evil H7451, and do H6213 (8798) good H2896; seek H1245 (8761) peace H7965, and pursue H7291 (8798) it.
[15] The eyes H5869 of the LORD H3068 [are] upon the righteous H6662, and his ears H241 [are open] unto their cry H7775.
[16] The face H6440 of the LORD H3068 [is] against them that do H6213 (8802) evil H7451, to cut off H3772 (8687) the remembrance H2143 of them from the earth H776.
[17] [The righteous] cry H6817 (8804), and the LORD H3068 heareth H8085 (8804), and delivereth H5337 (8689) them out of all their troubles H6869.
[18] The LORD H3068 [is] nigh H7138 unto them that are of a broken H7665 (8737) heart H3820; and saveth H3467 (8686) such as be of a contrite H1793 spirit H7307.
[19] Many H7227 [are] the afflictions H7451 of the righteous H6662: but the LORD H3068 delivereth H5337 (8686) him out of them all.
[20] He keepeth H8104 (8802) all his bones H6106: not one H259 of them H2007 is broken H7665 (8738).
[21] Evil H7451 shall slay H4191 (8787) the wicked H7563: and they that hate H8130 (8802) the righteous H6662 shall be desolate H816 (8799).
[22] The LORD H3068 redeemeth H6299 (8802) the soul H5315 of his servants H5650: and none of them that trust H2620 (8802) in him shall be desolate H816 (8799).
