Psalms 34
1I WILL bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall be continually in my mouth.
2Let my soul glory in the Lord: let the meek hear and be gladdened.
3O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol His name together.
4I sought the Lord and He heard me; and brought me safe out of all my sojourns.
5Come to Him and be enlightened and your faces shall never be shamed.
6This afflicted man cried; and the Lord heard him; and saved him out of all his afflictions.
7The angel of the Lord will encamp round them that fear Him, and deliver them.
8O taste and see that the Lord is good! happy is the man, who trusteth in him.
9O fear the Lord all ye his saints! for they who fear him have no want.
10Rich men have become poor and hungry: But they who seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
11Come, ye children, hearken to me: and I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12What man soever desireth life and loveth to see good days:
13keep thy tongue from evil; and thy lips from speaking guile:
14depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
15The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous: and His ears are open to their prayer.
16But the face of the Lord is against them that do evil; to destroy the remembrance of them from the earth.
17The righteous cried and the Lord heard them; and delivered them out of all their afflictions.
18The Lord is near to those of a contrite heart; and will save them who are lowly in spirit.
19Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but out of them all the Lord will deliver them.
20He keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.
21Wretched is the death of sinners; yet they who hate what is just will transgress.
22The Lord will redeem the souls of His servants: and none will transgress who trust in Him.
