1. I will praise the lord at all times.I will constantly speak his praises.
2. I will boast only in the lord;let all who are helpless take heart.
3. Come, let us tell of the lord’s greatness;let us exalt his name together.
4. I prayed to the lord, and he answered me.He freed me from all my fears.
5. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy;no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
6. In my desperation I prayed, and the lord listened;he saved me from all my troubles.
7. For the angel of the lord is a guard;he surrounds and defends all who fear him.
8. Taste and see that the lord is good.Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!
