My soul boasts in the LORD;
His soul boasts in the LORD so that the humble may hear and rejoice.
This verse makes praise a source of encouragement for the lowly.
1Of David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, so that the king drove him away. 2My soul boasts in the LORD; 3Magnify the LORD with me; 4I sought the LORD, and He answered me; 5Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; 6This poor man called out, and the LORD heard him; 7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, 8Taste and see that the LORD is good; 9Fear the LORD, you His saints, 10Young lions go lacking and hungry, 11Come, children, listen to me; 12Who is the man who delights in life, 13Keep your tongue from evil 14Turn away from evil and do good; 15The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, 16But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, 17The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; 18The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; 19Many are the afflictions of the righteous, 20He protects all his bones; 21Evil will slay the wicked, 22The LORD redeems His servants,
