And their faces were not ashamed.

And saved him out of all his troubles.
⁷ The ^[a]angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them.

Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
⁹ Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints!
There is no ^[b]want to those who fear Him.

But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.

I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
¹² Who is the man who desires life,
And loves many days, that he may see good?

And your lips from speaking deceit.

Seek peace and pursue it.

And His ears are open to their cry.
¹⁶ The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
To ^[c]cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

And delivers them out of all their troubles.

And saves such as ^[d]have a contrite spirit.

But the Lord delivers him out of them all.

Not one of them is broken.
²¹ Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous shall be ^[e]condemned.
²² The Lord redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
