Dual Panel1Written by David <01732>, when he pretended <02940> <08138> to be insane before <06440> Abimelech <040>, causing the king to send <01644> him away <01644>. I will praise <01288> the Lord <03068> at all <03605> times <06256>; my mouth <06310> will continually <08548> praise <08416> him.
2I <05315> will boast <01984> in the Lord <03068>; let the oppressed <06035> hear <08085> and rejoice <08055>!
3Magnify <01431> the Lord <03068> with <0854> me! Let’s praise <07311> his name <08034> together <03162>!
4I sought <01875> the Lord’s <03068> help and he answered <06030> me; he delivered <05337> me from all <03605> my fears <04035>.
5Those who look <05027> to <0413> him for help are happy <05102>; their faces <06440> are not <0408> ashamed <02659>.
6This <02088> oppressed man <06041> cried out <07121> and the Lord <03068> heard <08085>; he saved <03467> him from all <03605> his troubles <06869>.
7The Lord’s <03068> angel <04397> camps <02583> around <05439> the Lord’s loyal followers <03373> and delivers <02502> them.
8Taste <02938> and see <07200> that <03588> the Lord <03068> is good <02896>! How blessed <0835> is the one <01397> who takes shelter <02620> in him!
9Remain loyal <03372> to the Lord <03068>, you chosen people <06918> of his, for <03588> his loyal followers <03373> lack <04270> nothing <0369>!
10Even young lions <03715> sometimes lack food <07326> and are hungry <07456>, but those who seek <01875> the Lord <03068> lack <02637> no <03808> good thing <02896>.
11Come <01980> children <01121>! Listen <08085> to me! I will teach <03925> you what it means to fear <03374> the Lord <03068>.
12Do you want <02655> to really live <02416>? Would you love <0157> to live <07200> a long <03117>, happy <02896> life <03117>?
13Then make sure <05341> you don’t speak <03956> evil <07451> words <08193> or use deceptive <04820> speech <01696>!
14Turn away <05493> from evil <07451> and do <06213> what is right <02896>! Strive <01245> for peace <07965> and promote <07291> it!
15The Lord <03068> pays attention <05869> to <0413> the godly <06662> and hears <0241> their cry for help <07775>.
16But the Lord <03068> opposes evildoers <07451> <06213> and wipes out <03772> all memory <02143> of them from the earth <0776>.
17The godly cry out <06817> and the Lord <03068> hears <08085>; he saves <05337> them from all <03605> their troubles <06869>.
18The Lord <03068> is near <07138> the brokenhearted <03820> <07665>; he delivers <03467> those who are discouraged <07307> <01793>.
19The godly <06662> face many <07227> dangers <07451>, but the Lord <03068> saves <05337> them from each one of them <03605>.
20He protects <08104> all <03605> his bones <06106>; not <03808> one <0259> of them <02007> is broken <07665>.
21Evil <07451> people self-destruct <07563> <04191>; those who hate <08130> the godly <06662> are punished <0816>.
22The Lord <03068> rescues <06299> his servants <05650> <05315>; all <03605> who take shelter <02620> in him escape <03808> punishment <0816>.
