 For he does not despise nor abhor the poor in their poverty; neither does he hide his face from them; * but when they cry to him he hears them.

My praise is of him in the great assembly; * I will perform my vows in the presence of those who worship him.

The poor shall eat and be satisfied, and those who seek the shall praise him: * “May your heart live for ever!”

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the, * and all the families of the nations shall bow before him.

For kingship belongs to the ; * he rules over the nations.

To him alone all who sleep in the earth bow down in worship; * all who go down to the dust fall before him.

My soul shall live for him; my descendants shall serve him; * they shall be known as the for ever.

They shall come and make known to a people yet unborn * the saving deeds that he has done.

The is my shepherd; * I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures * and leads me beside still waters.
