See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy;

For in him our hearts have joy; in his holy name is our hope.

I will be blessing the Lord at all times; his praise will be ever in my mouth.

O give praise to the Lord with me; let us be witnesses together of his great name.

This poor man's cry came before the Lord, and he gave him salvation from all his troubles.

Keep yourselves in the fear of the Lord, all you his saints; for those who do so will have no need of anything.

What man has a love of life, and a desire that his days may be increased so that he may see good?

The eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their cry.

He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken.

The Lord will be the saviour of the souls of his servants, and no one who has faith in him will be put to shame.

And my soul will have joy in the Lord; it will be glad in his salvation.

All my bones will say, Lord, who is like you? The saviour of the poor man from the hands of the strong, of him who is poor and in need from him who takes his goods.

Let those who are on my side give cries of joy; let them ever say, The Lord be praised, for he has pleasure in the peace of his servant.

The sin of the evil-doer says in his heart, There is no fear of the Lord before his eyes.

For he takes comfort in the thought that his sin will not be uncovered and hated.

In the words of his mouth are evil and deceit; he has given up being wise and doing good.

He gives thought to evil on his bed; he takes a way which is not good; he is not a hater of evil.

Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.

For in a short time the evil-doer will be gone: you will go searching for his place, and it will not be there.

He will be laughed at by the Lord, who sees that his day is coming.
