| Chapter 34 |
1 |
By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise [is] in my mouth. --
|
2 |
In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice. --
|
3 |
Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together. --
|
4 |
I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me. --
|
5 |
They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed. --
|
6 |
This poor [one] called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him. --
|
7 |
A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them. --
|
8 |
Taste ye and see that Jehovah [is] good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him. --
|
9 |
Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him. --
|
10 |
Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good, --
|
11 |
Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you. --
|
12 |
Who [is] the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good? --
|
13 |
Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit. --
|
14 |
Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it. --
|
15 |
The eyes of Jehovah [are] unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry. --
|
16 |
(The face of Jehovah [is] on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.) --
|
17 |
They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them. --
|
18 |
Near [is] Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth. --
|
19 |
Many [are] the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him. --
|
20 |
He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken. --
|
21 |
Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate. --
|
22 |
Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate! --
