| Chapter 33 |
1 |
For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way. [1 Kings 21.] --
|
2 |
I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth. --
|
3 |
In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice. --
|
4 |
O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together. --
|
5 |
I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles. --
|
6 |
Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded. --
|
7 |
This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles. --
|
8 |
The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them. --
|
9 |
O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him. --
|
10 |
Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. --
|
11 |
The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good. --
|
12 |
Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. --
|
13 |
Who is the man that desireth life: who loveth to see good days? --
|
14 |
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. --
|
15 |
Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it. --
|
16 |
The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers. --
|
17 |
But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. --
|
18 |
The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles. --
|
19 |
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit. --
|
20 |
Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them. --
|
21 |
The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken. --
|
22 |
The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty. --
|
23 |
The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall offend. --
