- 1[1] I will praise the LORD at all times. I will never stop singing his praises.
- 2Humble people, listen and be happy, while I brag about the LORD.
- 3Praise the LORD with me. Let us honor his name.
- 4I went to the LORD for help, and he listened. He saved me from all that I fear.
- 5If you look to him for help, he will put a smile on your face. You will have no need to be ashamed.
- 6As a poor, helpless man I prayed to the LORD, and he heard me. He saved me from all my troubles.
- 7The LORD’s angel builds a camp around his followers, and he protects them.
- 8Give the LORD a chance to show you[2] how good he is. Great blessings belong to those who depend on him!
- 9The LORD’s holy people should fear and respect him. Those who respect him will always have what they need.
- 10Even strong lions get weak and hungry, but those who go to the LORD for help will have every good thing.
- 11Children, come and listen to me; I will teach you to respect the LORD.
- 12Do you want to enjoy life? Do you want to have many happy days?
- 13Then avoid saying anything hurtful, and never let a lie come out of your mouth.
- 14Stop doing anything evil, and do good. Look for peace, and do all you can to help people live peacefully.
- 15The LORD watches over those who do what is right, and he hears their prayers.
