1Ein Psalm Davids aus der Zeit, als er sich vor Abimelech wahnsinnig stellte und dieser ihn wegschickte.2Ich will den HERRN allezeit loben und nie aufhören, ihm zu danken. (Ps 71,6; Eph 5,20)3Allein den HERRN will ich loben; die Mutlosen sollen es hören und sich freuen. (Jer 9,23)4Kommt, lobt mit mir die Größe des HERRN, lasst uns gemeinsam seinen Namen ehren! (Lk 1,46)5Ich betete zum HERRN, und er antwortete mir und befreite mich von allen meinen Ängsten.6Die von ihm Hilfe erhoffen, werden vor Freude strahlen, und sie werden nicht vor Scham erröten. (Ps 36,10)7Es schrie einer zum HERRN in seinem Leid, und er hörte ihn und rettete ihn aus allen seinen Ängsten.8Denn der Engel des HERRN beschützt die, die ihm gehorchen, und rettet sie. (Dan 6,23)9Schmeckt und seht, dass der HERR gut ist. Freuen darf sich, wer auf ihn vertraut! (1Petr 2,3)10Das Volk des HERRN soll mit Ehrfurcht vor ihn treten, denn die ihn ehren, haben alles, was sie brauchen. (Ps 23,1; Ps 31,24)11Selbst starke und junge Löwen werden hungrig, aber denen, die auf den HERRN vertrauen, wird es niemals an Gutem fehlen. (Ps 84,12)12Meine Kinder, kommt und hört mir zu! Ich will euch lehren, den HERRN ernst zu nehmen. (Ps 111,10)13Wollt ihr ein glückliches Leben führen und gute Tage erleben? (1Petr 3,10)14Dann hütet eure Zunge vor bösen Worten und verbreitet keine Lügen! (Jak 1,26; 1Petr 2,22)15Wendet euch ab vom Bösen und tut Gutes. Bemüht euch, mit anderen in Frieden zu leben. (Ps 37,27; Röm 14,18; Hebr 12,14)16Der HERR beschützt die, die das Rechte tun, und er wird ihre Hilferufe hören. (Hi 36,7; Ps 33,18)17Der HERR wendet sich gegen die, die Böses tun. Er wird die Erinnerung an sie auslöschen. (Ps 9,7; Ps 109,15)18Der HERR hört sein Volk, wenn es ihn um Hilfe anfleht, und rettet es aus aller Not.19Der HERR ist allen nahe, die verzweifelt sind; er rettet die, die den Mut verloren haben. (Ps 51,19; Ps 145,18; Jes 57,15)20Wer auf den HERRN vertraut, erleidet zwar vieles, doch der HERR errettet ihn aus aller Not. (Ps 71,20; Spr 24,16)21Denn der HERR beschützt ihn vor Unheil, nicht einer von seinen Knochen wird zerbrochen werden!22Wer Böses tut, wird durch sein Unrecht sterben, und wer die hasst, die dem HERRN vertrauen, wird bestraft. (Ps 94,23)23Die aber, die ihm dienen, wird der HERR erretten. Jedem, der auf ihn vertraut, wird vergeben. (Ps 71,23)
A psalm of David when he was with Abimelek and pretended to be out of his mind. Abimelek drove him away, and David left.
1I will thank the LORD at all times. My lips will always praise him.2I will find my glory in knowing the LORD. Let those who are hurting hear me and be joyful.3Join me in giving glory to the LORD. Let us honour him together.4I looked to the LORD, and he answered me. He saved me from everything I was afraid of.5Those who look to him have joyful faces. They are never covered with shame.6This poor man called out, and the LORD heard him. He saved him out of all his troubles.7The angel of the LORD stands guard around those who have respect for him. And he saves them.8Taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the person who goes to him for safety.9You holy people of God, have respect for the LORD. Those who respect him have everything they need.10The lions may grow weak and hungry. But those who look to the LORD have every good thing they need.11My children, come. Listen to me. I will teach you to have respect for the LORD.12Do you love life and want to see many good days?13Then keep your tongues from speaking evil. Keep your lips from telling lies.14Turn away from evil, and do good. Look for peace, and go after it.15The LORD looks with favour on those who are godly. His ears are open to their cry.16But the LORD doesn’t look with favour on those who do evil. He removes all memory of them from the earth.17Godly people cry out, and the LORD hears them. He saves them from all their troubles.18The LORD is close to those whose hearts have been broken. He saves those whose spirits have been crushed.19The person who does what is right may have many troubles. But the LORD saves him from all of them.20The LORD watches over all his bones. Not one of them will be broken.21Sinners will be killed by their own evil. The enemies of godly people will be judged.22The LORD will save those who serve him. No one who goes to him for safety will be found guilty.
1[1] Of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, so that he drove him out, and he went away. I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. (1Sam 21,10; 1Sam 21,12; 1Sam 21,13; 1Sam 21,14; Eph 5,20; 1Thess 5,18)2My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. (1Sam 2,1; Ps 44,8; Ps 119,74; Jer 9,24)3Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together! (Ps 35,27; Ps 40,16; Ps 69,30; Ps 70,4; Lk 1,46)4I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. (2Chr 15,2; Mt 7,7)5Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. (Ps 4,6; Jes 60,5)6This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. (2Sam 22,1; Ps 34,15; Ps 34,17; Ps 34,19)7The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. (1Mo 32,1; 2Kön 6,17; Dan 6,22; Hebr 1,14)8Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! (Ps 2,12; Ps 100,5; Hebr 6,5; 1Petr 2,3)9Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack!10The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. (Hi 4,10; Ps 84,11)11Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. (Ps 32,8; Ps 66,16)12What man is there who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good? (Pred 3,13; Pred 6,6; 1Petr 3,10)13Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.

(Hi 28,28; Ps 37,27; Jes 1,16; Röm 12,18; Röm 14,19; Hebr 12,14)15The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry. (Ps 33,18; Ps 34,6; Ps 34,8; Ps 145,18; Joh 9,31)16The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. (Ps 21,10; Jer 44,11; Am 9,4)17When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. (Ps 34,15)18The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. (Ps 51,17; Ps 147,3; Jes 57,15; Jes 61,1; Jes 66,2; Lk 15,17)19Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. (Ps 34,6; Ps 34,17; Ps 34,22; Apg 12,11; 2Tim 3,11)20He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken. (Joh 19,36)21Affliction will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. (Ps 7,15; Ps 94,23; Spr 24,16)22The Lord redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned. (Ps 25,22; Röm 8,33)
