34:1 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 34:2 My soul will make its boast in the Lord; The humble will hear it and rejoice. 34:3 O magnify the Lord with me, And let us 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, And their faces will never be ashamed. 34:6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him And saved him out of all his troubles. 34:7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues them. 34:8 O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! 34:9 O fear the Lord, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want. 34:10 The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing. 34:11 Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 34:12 Who is the man who desires life And loves length of days that he may see good? 34:13 Keep your tongue from evil And your lips from speaking deceit. 34:14 Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. 34:15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous And His ears are open to their cry. 34:16 The face of the Lord is against evildoers, To cut off the memory of them 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 the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit. 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all. 34:20 He keeps all his bones, Not one of them is broken. 34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous will be condemned. 34:22 The Lord redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned. 34:23
