Psalms 33

¹For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way.

²I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.

³In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice.

⁴O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together.

⁵I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.

⁶Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded.

⁷This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles.

⁸The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.

⁹O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.

¹⁰Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

¹¹The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.

¹²Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

¹³Who is the man that desireth life: who loveth to see good days?

¹⁴Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

¹⁵Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it.

¹⁶The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers.

¹⁷But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

¹⁸The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles.

¹⁹The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit.

²⁰Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.

²¹The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.

²²The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty.

²³The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall offend.
