Psalms 34
1I will bless the LORD at all times : his praise shall continually be in my mouth . 2My soul shall make her boast in the LORD : the humble shall hear thereof , and be glad . 3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together . 4I sought the LORD , and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears . 5They looked unto him, and were lightened : and their faces were not ashamed . 6This poor man cried , and the LORD heard him , and saved him out of all his troubles . 7The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 8O taste and see that the LORD is good : blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 9O fear the LORD , ye his saints : for there is no want to them that fear him. 10The young lions do lack , and suffer hunger : but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing . 11Come , ye children , hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD . 12What man is he that desireth life , and loveth many days , that he may see good ? 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 unto their cry . 16The face of the LORD is against them that do evil , to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth . 17The righteous cry , and the LORD heareth , and delivereth them out of all their troubles . 18The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart ; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit . 19Many are the afflictions of the righteous : but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. 20He keepeth all his bones : not one of them is broken . 21Evil shall slay the wicked : and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate . 22The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants : and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate .
