1 I will ^abless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.

4 I ^asought the Lord, and He heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.

5 They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces were not ashamed.

6 This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.

And delivers them.

8 Oh, ^ataste and see that the Lord is good;
^bBlessed is the man who trusts in Him!

9 Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints!
There is no¹ want to those who fear Him.

^aBut those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.

11 Come, you children, listen to me;
^aI will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12 ^aWho is the man who desires life,
And loves many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep your tongue from evil,
And your lips from speaking ^adeceit.

14 ^aDepart from evil and do good;
^bSeek peace and pursue it.

15 ^aThe eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their cry.

16 ^aThe face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
^bTo¹ cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry out, and ^athe Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.

18 ^aThe Lord is near ^bto those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as¹ have a contrite spirit.

19 ^aMany are the afflictions of the righteous,
^bBut the Lord delivers him out of them all.

20 He guards all his bones;
^aNot one of them is broken.

21 ^aEvil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous shall be¹ condemned.

22 The Lord ^aredeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
