The Loʀᴅ, a Provider and Deliverer.
A Psalm of David when he AOr changed his behaviorfeigned madness before BPossibly a title of King Achish of Gath, see 1 Sam 21:10-15Abimelech, who drove him away and he departed.
1 I will AEph 5:20; 1 Thess 5:18bless the Loʀᴅ at all times;
His BPs 71:6praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul will APs 44:8; Jer 9:24; 1 Cor 1:31make its boast in the Loʀᴅ;
The BPs 69:32humble will hear it and rejoice.
3 O APs 35:27; 69:30; Luke 1:46magnify the Loʀᴅ with me,
And let us BPs 18:46exalt His name together.
4 I A2 Chr 15:2; Ps 9:10; Matt 7:7sought the Loʀᴅ, and He answered me,
And BPs 34:6, 17, 19delivered me from all my fears.
5 They APs 36:9; Is 60:5looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces will BPs 25:3never be ashamed.
And saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The APs 91:11; Dan 6:22angel of the Loʀᴅ encamps around those who fear Him,
And rescues them.
8 O APs 119:103; Heb 6:5; 1 Pet 2:3taste and see that the Loʀᴅ is good;
How BPs 2:12blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
9 O fear the Loʀᴅ, you APs 31:23His saints;
For to those who fear Him there is BPs 23:1no want.
10 The young lions do lack and suffer hunger;
But they who seek the Loʀᴅ shall APs 84:11not be in want of any good thing.
11 APs 66:16Come, you children, listen to me;
BPs 32:8I will teach you CPs 111:10the fear of the Loʀᴅ.
12 APs 34:12-16; 1 Pet 3:10-12Who is the man who desires life
And loves length of days that he may BEccl 3:13see good?
13 Keep APs 141:3; Prov 13:3; James 1:26your tongue from evil
And your lips from speaking B1 Pet 2:22deceit.
14 APs 37:27; Is 1:16, 17Depart from evil and do good;
Seek peace and BRom 14:19; Heb 12:14pursue it.
15 The AJob 36:7; Ps 33:18eyes of the Loʀᴅ are toward the righteous
And His ears are open to their cry.
16 The ALev 17:10; Jer 44:11; Amos 9:4face of the Loʀᴅ is against evildoers,
To BJob 18:17; Ps 9:6; 109:15; Prov 10:7cut off the memory of them from the earth.
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
And saves those who are 1Or contriteCPs 51:17; Is 57:15crushed in spirit.
But the Loʀᴅ CPs 34:4, 6, 17delivers him out of them all.
20 He keeps all his bones,
AJohn 19:33, 36Not one of them is broken.
21 APs 94:23; 140:11; Prov 24:16Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous will be 1Or held guiltycondemned.
22 The Loʀᴅ A1 Kin 1:29; Ps 71:23redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who BPs 37:40take refuge in Him will be 1V 21, note 1condemned.
