1 A Psalm of David, when he changed his countenance before Abimelech; and he let him go, and he departed. I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall be continually in my mouth. I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left. I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
2 My soul shall boast herself in the Lord: let the meek hear, and rejoice. My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and be glad. I will glory in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

8 Taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man who hopes in him. Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
9 Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. Oh, fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack! Fear the LORD, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.
10 The rich have become poor and hungry: but they that seek the Lord diligently shall not want any good thing. Pause. The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
11 Come, ye children, hear me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 What man is there that desires life, loving to see good days? What man is there who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good? Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.

16 but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth.
