| Chapter 34 |
1 |
[A Psalm] of David, when he changed his behaviour 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 [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. --
