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.
