Psalms 34

[{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. {Abimelech: or, Achish}

My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear {thereof}, and be glad.

O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. {were lightened: or, they flowed unto him}

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard {him}, and saved him out of all his troubles.

The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

O taste and see that the LORD {is} good: blessed {is} the man {that} trusteth in him.

O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for {there is} no want to them that fear him.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good {thing}.

Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

What man {is he that} desireth life, {and} loveth {many} days, that he may see good?

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

The eyes of the LORD {are} upon the righteous, and his ears {are open} unto their cry.

The face of the LORD {is} against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

{The righteous} cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

The LORD {is} nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. {unto...: Heb. to the broken of heart} {of a contrite...: Heb. contrite of spirit}

Many {are} the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. {desolate: or, guilty}

The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. {desolate: or, guilty}
