I'll bless the LORD at all times; his praise will always be in my mouth. My soul will boast in the LORD. The humble will hear it and be glad. Magnify the LORD with me, and let's exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to him and were radiant; their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD camps around those who fear him and delivers them. Taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who trusts in him. Fear the LORD, you saints of his, because those who fear him lack nothing. Young lions may lack food and go hungry, but those who seek the LORD won't lack any good thing. Come, children, listen to me. I'll teach you the fear of the LORD.

They looked to him and were lit up, and their faces weren't ashamed. This poor man cried out and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord camps round the ones who fear him, and pulls them out. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Happy is the man who takes shelter in him. Fear the Lord, you holy ones of his, because the ones who fear him don't go short. Young lions go without and go hungry, but the ones who look for the Lord won't go short of any good thing.

I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
