“A psalm of David, when he feigned himself mad 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.

I sought the LORD, and he heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.

But the face of the LORD is against evil-doers, To cut off their remembrance from the earth.
