Opening the chapter…
I will always thank God; I will constantly praise him.
I will praise God for what he has done. All those who are oppressed should listen to me and rejoice.
Join with me in telling others that God is great! You and I should together proclaim how glorious he is!
I prayed to God, and he answered my prayer; he rescued me from all those who caused me to be afraid.
Those who trust that he will help them will be joyful; they will never have to look down in disgrace.
I was miserable, but I called out to God, and he heard me. He rescued me from all my troubles.
An angel from God guards those who have an awesome respect for him, and the angel rescues them.
Try for yourself, and you will experience that God is good to you! How fortunate are those who trust him to protect them.
All you who belong to him, have an awesome respect for him! Those who do that will always have the things that they need.
Lions are usually very strong, but sometimes even young lions are hungry and become weak. However, those who trust in God will have everything that they need.
You who are my students, come and listen to me, and I will teach you how to have an awesome respect for God.
If any of you wants to enjoy life and have a good long life,
do not speak what it evil! Do not tell lies!
Refuse to do evil; instead, do what is good! Always try hard to enable people to live peacefully with each other!
God carefully watches over those who act righteously; he always responds to them when they call to him for help.
But God works against those who do what is evil. After they die, people here on earth will forget them completely.
God hears righteous people when they call out to him; he rescues them from all their troubles.
God is always ready to help those who are discouraged; he rescues those who have no hope for anything good.
Righteous people may have many troubles, but God rescues them from all those troubles.
God protects them from being harmed; when their enemies attack them, they will not break any bones of those righteous people.
Disasters will kill the wicked people, and God will punish those who oppose righteous people.
God will save those who serve him. He will not condemn those who trust in him.
