[A Psalm] of David, when he changed his countenance before Abimelech; and he let him go, and he departed. I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall be continually in my mouth.

15 oculi Domini super iustos et aures eius in precem eorum
The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears [are open] to their prayer:
16 facies Domini super facientes mala ut perdat de terra memoriam eorum

17 clamaverunt iusti et Dominus exaudivit et ex omnibus tribulationibus eorum liberavit eos
and delivered them out of all their afflictions.
18 iuxta est Dominus his qui tribulato sunt corde et humiles spiritu salvabit
The Lord is near to them that are of a contrite heart; and will save the lowly in spirit.

He keeps all their bones: not one of them shall be broken.
21 mors peccatorum pessima et qui oderunt iustum delinquent
The death of sinners is evil: and they that hate righteousness will go wrong.
22 redimet Dominus animas servorum suorum et non delinquent omnes qui sperant in eum
The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of those that hope in him shall go wrong.
