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