1By David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who then sent him away. I will praise Yahweh at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
2I will boast about Yahweh; humble people will hear and be glad.
3Come, let us praise Yahweh together; let us honor his name together.
4I looked to Yahweh, and he answered me; he freed me from all my fears.
5Those who look to him will shine with joy; they will never be ashamed.
6This poor man cried out, and Yahweh heard him; he saved him from all his troubles.
7Yahweh's angel surrounds those who respect him and rescues them.
8Taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the person who takes refuge in him.
9Respect Yahweh, all you who are his devoted followers, for those who respect him have everything they need.
10Even young lions can be weak and hungry, but those who seek Yahweh will not lack any good thing.
11Come, children, listen to me. I will teach you to respect Yahweh.
12Who wants to live a long and good life?
13Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from telling lies.
14Turn away from evil and do good. Seek peace and go after it.
15Yahweh watches over good people. He listens to their cries.
16Yahweh turns against those who do evil, to erase their memory from the earth.
17When good people cry out, Yahweh hears and rescues them from all their troubles.
18Yahweh is close to those who have a broken heart, and saves those whose spirits are crushed.
19Good people suffer many difficulties, but Yahweh rescues them from all of them.
20He protects all their bones. Not one of them is broken.
21Evil will kill the wicked. Those who hate good people will be found guilty.
22Yahweh saves the lives of his servants. None of those who trust in him will be found guilty.
