To David, when he changed his appearance in the sight of Abimelech, and so he dismissed him, and he went away. I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise will be ever in my mouth.

This poor one cried out, and the Lord heeded him, and he saved him from all his tribulations.

The Angel of the Lord will encamp around those who fear him, and he will rescue them.

Taste and see that the Lord is sweet. Blessed is the man who hopes in him.

Which is the man who wills life, who chooses to see good days?

Prohibit your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.

Turn away from evil, and do good. Inquire about peace, and pursue it.

The eyes of the Lord are on the just, and his ears are with their prayers.

But the countenance of the Lord is upon those who do evil, to perish the remembrance of them from the earth.

Many are the afflictions of the just, but from them all the Lord will free them.

The death of a sinner is very harmful, and those who hate the just will fare badly.

The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants, and none of those who hope in him will fare badly.
