Psalm 34

I WILL bless the Lord at all times;

His praise shall continually be in my

mouth.

My soul shall make its boast in the

Lord;

The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

Oh, 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 to Him and were radiant,

And their faces were not ashamed.

This poor man cried out, and the Lord

heard him,

And saved him out of all his troubles.

The angel of the Lord encamps all

around those who fear Him,

And delivers them.

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is

good;

Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints!

There is no want to those who fear

Him.

The young lions lack and suffer hunger;

But those who seek the Lord shall not

lack any good thing.

Come, you children, listen to me;

I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

Who is the man who desires life,

And loves many days, that he may see

good?

Keep your tongue from evil,

And your lips from speaking guile.

Depart from evil, and do good;

Seek peace, and pursue it.

The eyes of the Lord are on the

righteous,

And His ears are open to their cry.

The face of the Lord is against those

who do evil,

To cut off the remembrance of them

from the earth.

The righteous cry out, and the Lord

hears,

And delivers them out of all their

troubles.

The Lord is near to those who have a

broken heart,

And saves such as have a crushed

spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the

righteous,

But the Lord delivers him out of them

all.

He guards all his bones;

Not one of them is broken.

Evil shall slay the wicked,

And those who hate the righteous shall

be condemned.

The Lord redeems the soul of His

servants,

And none of those who trust in Him

shall be condemned.
