JPS Tanakh 1917 1[A Psalm] of David; when he changed his demeanour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. א 2I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. ב 3My soul shall glory in the LORD; The humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. ג 4O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together. ד 5I sought the LORD, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears. ה 6They looked unto Him, and were radiant; ו And their faces shall never be abashed. ז 7This poor man cried, and the LORD heard, And saved him out of all his troubles. ח 8The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear Him, And delivereth them. ט 9O consider and see that the LORD is good; Happy is the man that taketh refuge in Him. י 10O fear the LORD, ye His holy ones; For there is no want to them that fear Him. כ 11The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; But they that seek the LORD want not any good thing. ל 12Come, ye children, hearken unto me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. מ 13Who is the man that desireth life, and loveth days, That he may see good therein? נ 14Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking guile. ס 15Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it. ע 16The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, And His ears are open unto their cry. פ 17The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. צ 18 aThey cried, and the LORD heard, And delivered them out of all their troubles. ק 19The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit. ר 20Many are the ills of the righteous, But the LORD delivereth him out of them all. ש 21He keepeth all his bones; Not one of them is broken. ת 22Evil shall kill the wicked; And they that hate the righteous shall be held guilty. 23The LORD redeemeth the soul of His servants; And none of them that take refuge in Him shall be desolate.
