Psalms Chapter 34

1aA Psalm of David when he changed his behaviour in the presence of Abimelech, so that he drove him out and he went away.

1bI will bless the Lord at all times;

Praise of him is constantly in my mouth.

2My being will be praised because of the Lord;

The meek will hear it and rejoice.

3Extol the Lord with me,

And let us exalt his name together.

4When I sought the Lord,

He answered me,

And he delivered me from all my fears.

5They looked to him and brightened up,

And their faces were not ashamed.

6There was a certain poor man

Who called out,

And the Lord heard him

And saved him from all his adversities.

7The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,

And he delivers them.

8Taste, and see that the Lord is good;

Happy is the man who trusts in him.

9Fear the Lord, you holy ones of his,

For those who fear him have no lack of anything.

10Lion cubs are reduced,

And they hunger,

But those who seek the Lord

Will not suffer lack of any good thing.

11Come, you sons, and listen to me;

I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12Who is the man who delights in life?

– Who loves days so as to see good?

13Keep your tongue from evil

And your lips from speaking deceit.

14Depart from evil

And do good;

Seek peace

And pursue it.

15The eyes of the Lord are directed to the righteous,

And his ears to their crying out.

16The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,

To cut off the memory of them from the earth.

17They call out,

And the Lord hears,

And he delivers them from all their adversities.

18The Lord is near to the brokenhearted,

And he saves those of contrite spirit.

19Many are the woes of the righteous man,

But the Lord delivers him from all of them.

20He keeps all his bones;

Not one of them becomes broken.

21Evil will slay the wicked,

And those who hate the righteous will be held guilty.

22The Lord redeems the life of his servants,

And none of those who trust in him

Shall be held guilty.
