1 The Happiness of Those Who Trust in God A Psalm of David 1 Sam. 21:10–15 when he pretended madness before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will (Eph. 5:20;1 Thess. 5:18) bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord ; The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together.
4 I (2 Chr. 15:2; Ps. 9:10; Matt. 7:7; Luke 11:9) sought the Lord , and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.
7 (Ps. 91:11); Dan. 6:22 The angel of the Lord 2 Kin. 6:17 encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.
8 Oh, Ps. 119:103; (Heb. 6:5); 1 Pet. 2:3 taste and see that the Lord is good; Ps. 2:12 Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
9 Oh, fear the Lord , you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him.
10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger; (Ps. 84:11) But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.
11 Come, you children, listen to me; Ps. 32:8 I will teach you the fear of the Lord .
12 (1 Pet. 3:10–12) Who is the man who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking (Eph. 4:25) deceit.
14 Ps. 37:27; Is. 1:16, 17 Depart from evil and do good; (Rom. 14:19; Heb. 12:14) Seek peace and pursue it.
15 Job 36:7; (Ps. 33:18) The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry.
16 Lev. 17:10; Jer. 44:11; Amos 9:4 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, Job 18:17; Ps. 9:6; 109:15; (Prov. 10:7) To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and Ps. 34:6; 145:19 the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 (Ps. 145:18) The Lord is near Ps. 51:17; (Is. 57:15) to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
19 Prov. 24:16 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, Ps. 34:4, 6, 17 But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He guards all his bones; John 19:33, 36 Not one of them is broken.
21 Ps. 94:23; 140:11; Prov. 24:16 Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
22 The Lord 1 Kin. 1:29 redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
