1 Let me bless Yahweh at all times, Continually be his praise in my mouth. 2In Yahweh, boasteth my soul, The patient oppressed-ones shall hear and be glad. 3Ascribe ye greatness unto Yahweh with me, and let us exalt his Name together. 4I enquired of Yahweh, and he hath answered me, And, out of all my terrors, hath he rescued me. 5They looked unto him and were radiant, And, as for their faces, let them not be abashed. 6This, oppressed one cried, and, Yahweh, heard—and, out of all his distresses, saved him. 7The messenger of Yahweh encampeth around them who revere him, Thus hath he delivered them. 8Oh taste and see, that good is Yahweh,—How happy the man who seeketh refuge in him! 9Revere Yahweh, ye his holy ones, For there is no want to them who revere him. 10Young lions, have come short, and suffered hunger, but, they who seek Yahweh, shall not lack any good thing.

11Come, ye children! hearken unto me, The reverence of Yahweh, will I teach you. 12Who is the man that desireth life, Loving days, that he may see good? 13Keep thy tongue from wickedness, And thy lips from speaking deceit: 14Depart from wickedness and do good, Aim at well-being, and pursue it. 15The eyes of Yahweh, are towards the righteous, And, his ears, towards their cry for help: 16The face of Yahweh, is against such as do wickedness, To cut off, from the earth, their memory. 17They made outcry, and Yahweh heard, And, out of all their straits, hath he rescued them. 18Near is Yahweh, to the broken in heart, And, the crushed in spirit, will he save. 19Many are the misfortunes of the righteous, But, out of them all, doth Yahweh rescue him. 20Keeping all his bones, Not, one from among them, is broken. 21Misfortune shall be the death of the lawless one, And, the haters of the righteous man, shall be held guilty. 22Yahweh ransometh the soul of his servants, And none shall be held guilty, who seek refuge in him.
