34:1 34:2 A Psalm of David, when he feigned madness before Abimelech, so that he drove him out, and he went away. I will bless the LORD at all times;his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 34:3 My soul makes its boast in the LORD;let the afflicted hear and be glad. 34:4 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together! 34:5 I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. 34:6 Look to him, and be radiant;so your faces shall never be ashamed. 34:7 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 34:8 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. 34:9 O taste and see that the LORD is good! Happy is the man who takes refuge in him! 34:10 O fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no want! 34:11 The young lions suffer want and hunger;but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. 34:12 Come, O sons, listen to me, I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 34:13 What man is there who desires life, and covets many days, that he may enjoy good? 34:14 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit. 34:15 Depart from evil, and do good;seek peace, and pursue it. 34:16 The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, and his ears toward their cry. 34:17 The face of the LORD is against evildoers, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 34:18 When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. 34:19 The LORD is near to the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in spirit. 34:20 Many are the afflictions of the righteous;but the LORD delivers him out of them all. 34:21 He keeps all his bones;not one of them is broken. 34:22 Evil shall slay the wicked;and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. 34:23 The LORD redeems the life of his servants;none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
