I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth. -
|

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. -

O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him. -

The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good. -

Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. -

The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles. -

Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them. -

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. -
