Psalm 34 - A Psalm of David, when he
changed his behaviour before Abimelech;
who drove him away, and he departed.
I will bless the Lord at all times: his
praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make her boast
in the Lord: the humble shall
hear thereof, and be glad.
O magnify the Lord with me, and
let us exalt his name together.
I sought the Lord, and he heard me,
and delivered me from all my fears.
They looked unto him, and were lightened:
and their faces were not ashamed.
This poor man cried, and the
Lord heard him, and saved
him out of all his troubles.
delivereth them.
O taste and see that the Lord is good:
blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for
there is no want to them that fear him.
The young lions do lack, and
suffer hunger: that seek the Lord
shall not want any good thing.
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I
will teach you the fear of the Lord.
What man is he that desireth life, and
loveth many days, that he may see good?
Keep thy tongue from evil, and
thy lips from speaking guile.
Depart from evil, and do good;
seek peace, and pursue it.
The eyes of the Lord are
upon the righteous, and his
ears are open unto their cry.
The face of the Lord is against
them that do evil, to cut off the
remembrance of them from the earth.
The righteous cry, and the
Lord heareth, and delivereth
them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is nigh unto them that
are of a broken heart; and saveth
such as be of a contrite spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous:
him out of them all.
He keepeth all his bones:
not one of them is broken.
Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that
hate the righteous shall be desolate.
The Lord redeemeth the soul of his
servants: and none of them that
trust in him shall be desolate.
