My son, if you take my words to heart,
  if you set store by my commandments,
tuning your ear to wisdom,
  and applying your heart to truth:
yes, if your plea is for clear perception,
  if you cry out for discernment,
if you look for it as if it were silver,
  and search for it as for buried treasure,
you will then understand what the fear of the Lord is,
  and discover the knowledge of God.
For the Lord himself is giver of wisdom,
  from his mouth issue knowledge and discernment.
He keeps his help for honest men,
  he is the shield of those whose ways are honourable;
he stands guard over the paths of justice,
  he keeps watch on the way of his devoted ones.
Then you will understand what virtue is, justice, and fair dealing,
  all paths that lead to happiness.

I will bless the Lord at all times.

I will bless the Lord at all times,
  his praise always on my lips;
in the Lord my soul shall make its boast.
  The humble shall hear and be glad.

I will bless the Lord at all times.

Glorify the Lord with me.
  Together let us praise his name.
I sought the Lord and he answered me;
 from all my terrors he set me free.

I will bless the Lord at all times.

Look towards him and be radiant;
  let your faces not be abashed.
This poor man called, the Lord heard him
  and rescued him from all his distress.

I will bless the Lord at all times.

The angel of the Lord is encamped
  around those who revere him, to rescue them.
Taste and see that the Lord is good.
  He is happy who seeks refuge in him.

I will bless the Lord at all times.

Revere the Lord, you his saints.
  They lack nothing, those who revere him.
Strong lions suffer want and go hungry
  but those who seek the Lord lack no blessing.

I will bless the Lord at all times.

Alleluia, alleluia!
How happy are the poor in spirit:
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Alleluia!
