| 1 A Psalm of David when he feigned madness before Abimelech, who drove him away and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. | 1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. | 1 I will bless Jehovah at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth. | 1 For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way. [1 Kings 21.] I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth. | 1 By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise is in my mouth. | 2 My soul will make its boast in the LORD; The humble will hear it and rejoice. | 2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. | 2 My soul shall make her boast in Jehovah: The meek shall hear thereof, and be glad. | 2 In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice. | 2 In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice. | 3 O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together. | 3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. | 3 Oh magnify Jehovah with me, And let us exalt his name together. | 3 O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together. | 3 Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together. | 4 I sought the LORD, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears. | 4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. | 4 I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, And delivered me from all my fears. | 4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles. | 4 I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me. | 5 They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces will never be ashamed. | 5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. | 5 They looked unto him, and were radiant; And their faces shall never be confounded. | 5 Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded. | 5 They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him And saved him out of all his troubles. | 6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. | 6 This poor man cried, and Jehovah heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. | 6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles. | 6 This poor one called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him. | 7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues them. | 7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. | 7 The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, And delivereth them. | 7 The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them. | 7 A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them. | 8 O taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! | 8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. | 8 Oh taste and see that Jehovah is good: Blessed is the man that taketh refuge in him. | 8 O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him. | 8 Taste ye and see that Jehovah is good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him. | 9 O fear the LORD, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want. | 9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. | 9 Oh fear Jehovah, ye his saints; For there is no want to them that fear him. | 9 Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. | 9 Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him. | 10 The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the LORD shall not be in want of any good thing. | 10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. | 10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; But they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good thing. | 10 The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good. | 10 Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good, | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |

Loving days to see good? | 13 Keep your tongue from evil And your lips from speaking deceit. | 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. | 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking guile. | 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. | 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit. | 14 Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. | 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. | 14 Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it. | 14 Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it. | 14 Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it. | 15 The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous And His ears are open to their cry. | 15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. | 15 The eyes of Jehovah are toward the righteous, And his ears are open unto their cry. | 15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers. | 15 The eyes of Jehovah are unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
