33.21 :Let Thy mercy, O, be upon us,
 * According as we have waited for Thee.

[A Psalm] of David; when he changed his demeanour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.


 * I will bless the at all times;
 * His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
 * My soul shall glory in the ;
 * The humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
 * O magnify the with me,
 * And let us exalt His name together.
 * I sought the, and He answered me,
 * And delivered me from all my fears.
 * They looked unto Him, and were radiant;
 * And their faces shall never be abashed.
 * This poor man cried, and the heard,
 * And saved him out of all his troubles.
 * The angel of the encampeth round about them that fear Him,
 * And delivereth them.
 * O consider and see that the is good;
 * Happy is the man that taketh refuge in Him.
 * O fear the, ye His holy ones;
 * For there is no want to them that fear Him.
 * The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger;
 * But they that seek the want not any good thing.
 * Come, ye children, hearken unto me;
 * I will teach you the fear of the.
 * Who is the man that desireth life,
 * And loveth days, that he may see good therein?
 * Keep thy tongue from evil,
 * And thy lips from speaking guile.
 * Depart from evil, and do good;
 * Seek peace, and pursue it.
 * The eyes of the are toward the righteous,
 * And His ears are open unto their cry.
 * The face of the is against them that do evil,
 * To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
 * They cried, and the heard,
 * And delivered them out of all their troubles.
 * The is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart,
 * And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
 * Many are the ills of the righteous,
 * But the delivereth him out of them all.
 * He keepeth all his bones;
 * Not one of them is broken.
 * Evil shall kill the wicked;
 * And they that hate the righteous shall be held guilty.


 * The redeemeth the soul of His servants;
 * And none of them that take refuge in Him shall be desolate.

[A Psalm] of David.


 * Strive, O, with them that strive with me;
 * Fight against them that fight against me.
 * Take hold of shield and buckler,
 * And rise up to my help.
 * Draw out also the spear, and the battle-axe, against them that pursue me;
