| Chapter 34 |
1 | A Psalm of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. 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 of it 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 to 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 around 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 to 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 to 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 to them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as are 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.
