¹ <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.> In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed; keep me safe in your righteousness.

¹⁰ You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.

¹⁴ Who gave himself for us, so that he might make us free from all wrongdoing, and make for himself a people clean in heart and on fire with good works.

²² I have put your evil doings out of my mind like a thick cloud, and your sins like a mist: come back to me; for I have taken up your cause.

¹⁹ Great are the troubles of the upright: but the Lord takes him safely out of them all.

¹ Christ has truly made us free: then keep your free condition and let no man put a yoke on you again.

² O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.

¹ The spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make the broken-hearted well, to say that the prisoners will be made free, and that those in chains will see the light again;

²¹ And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.

¹ <To the chief music-maker. Of the servant of the Lord, of David, who said the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord made him free from the hand of all his haters, and from the hand of Saul; and he said,> I will give you my love, O Lord, my strength.
