2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;

let the afflicted hear and be glad.

3 O magnify the Lord with me,

and let us exalt his name together!

4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me,

and delivered me from all my fears.

5 Look to him, and be radiant;

so your* faces shall never be ashamed.

6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him,

and saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the Lord encamps

around those who fear him, and delivers them.

8 O taste and see that the Lord is good!

Happy is the man who takes refuge in him!

9 O fear the Lord, you his saints,

for those who fear him have no want!
