Psalm 34
1I will bless
the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2My soul shall make her boast
in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3O magnify the LORD with me,
and let us exalt his name together.
4I sought the LORD, and he
heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5They looked unto him, and
were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6This poor man cried, and
the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7The angel of the LORD encampeth
round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8O taste and see that the
LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9O fear the LORD, ye his saints:
for there is no want to them that fear him.
10The young lions do lack,
and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
11Come, ye children, hearken
unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12What man is he that desireth
life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
13Keep thy tongue from evil,
and thy lips from speaking guile.
14Depart from evil, and do
good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15The eyes of the LORD are
upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16The face of the LORD is
against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17The righteous cry, and the
LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18The LORD is nigh unto them
that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19Many are the afflictions
of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
20He keepeth all his bones:
not one of them is broken.
21Evil shall slay the wicked:
and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22The LORD redeemeth the soul
of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
