[A Psalm] of David; when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless Jehovah at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

14 Diverte a malo, et fac bonum: inquire pacem, et persequere eam.
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 Oculi Domini super iustos: et aures eius in preces eorum.
The eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their cry;
16 Vultus autem Domini super facientes mala: ut perdat de terra memoriam eorum.

Many are the adversities of the righteous, but Jehovah delivereth him out of them all:
20 Custodit Dominus omnia ossa eorum: unum ex his non conteretur.
He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.
21 Mors peccatorum pessima: et qui oderunt iustum delinquent.
Evil shall destroy the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall bear their guilt.
22 Redimet Dominus animas servorum suorum: et non delinquent omnes qui sperant in eo.
Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall bear guilt.
