Psalms 34 ⓘ

34:1 By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.

34:2 My soul shall boast in the LORD. The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

34:3 Oh magnify the LORD with me. Let’s exalt his name together.

34:4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

34:5 They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame.

34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

34:7 The LORD’s angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.

34:8 Oh taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

34:9 Oh fear the LORD, you his saints, for there is no lack with those who fear him.

34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

34:11 Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

34:12 Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?

34:13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.

34:14 Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.

34:15 The LORD’s eyes are towards the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.

34:16 The LORD’s face is against those who do evil, to cut off their memory from the earth.

34:17 The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

34:18 The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.

34:20 He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.

34:21 Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

34:22 The LORD redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
