1 Of Dauid, when he chaunged his speche before Abimelech. which droue hym awaye and he departed. I Wyll allwaye geue thanckes vnto the Lorde, hys prayse shall euer be in my mouth.
2 My soule shall make her boast in the Lord the humble shall heare therof, and be glad.
3 O prayse the Lorde with me, and let vs magnifye hys name together.
4 I sought the Lorde & he hearde me, yee he deliuered me out of all my feare.
5 They had an eye vnto him, and were lyghtened, & their faces were not ashamed.
6 Lo, the poore cryeth, & the Lorde heareth hym, yee and saueth hym out of all hys troubles.
7 The Angell of the Lorde taryethe rounde about them that feare hym, and delyuereth them.
8 O taste and se, howe gracious the Lord is, blessed is the man that trusteth in hym.
9 O feare the Lorde, ye that be hys sayntes for they that feare hym, lacke nothynge.
10 The lyons do lacke, & suffre hunger but they which seke the Lorde: shall want no maner of thynge that is good.
11 Come ye chyldren & herken vnto me, I wyll teach you the feare of the Lorde.
12 What man is he that lysteth to lyue, & wold fayne se good dayes?
13 Kepe thy tonge from euell, & thy lyppes, that they speake no gile.
14 Eschue euell, & do good. seke peace and ensue it.
15 The eyes of the Lorde are ouer the ryghteous, & his eares are open vnto their prayers.
16 The countenaunce of the Lorde is agaynst them that do euell, to rote out the remembraunce of them from of the earth.
17 The ryghteous crye, & the Lorde heareth them, & delyuereth them out of all theyr troubles.
18 The Lorde is nye vnto them that are of a contryte hert, & wyll saue soche as be of an humble sprete.
19 Greate are the troubles of the ryghteous but the Lorde delyuereth hym out of all.
20 He kepeth all hys bones, so that not one of them is broken.
21 But mysfortune shall slaye the vngodly, and they that hate the ryghteous, shalbe desolate.
22 The Lorde delyuereth the soules of hys seruauntes: and all they that put theyr trust in hym shall not be destitute.
