| Chapter 34 |
1 | A Psalm of David; when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless Jehovah at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
|
2 | My soul shall make her boast in Jehovah: The meek shall hear thereof, and be glad.
|
3 | Oh magnify Jehovah with me, And let us exalt his name together.
|
4 | I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.
|
5 | They looked unto him, and were radiant; And their faces shall never be confounded.
|
6 | This poor man cried, and Jehovah heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.
|
7 | The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, And delivereth them.
|
8 | Oh taste and see that Jehovah is good: Blessed is the man that taketh refuge in him.
|
9 | Oh fear Jehovah, ye his saints; For there is no want to them that fear him.
|
10 | The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; But they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good thing.
|
11 | Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.
|
12 | What man is he that desireth life, And loveth [many] days, that he may see good?
|
13 | Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking guile.
|
14 | Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it.
|
15 | The eyes of Jehovah are toward the righteous, And his ears are [open] unto their cry.
|
16 | The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
|
17 | [The righteous] cried, and Jehovah heard, And delivered them out of all their troubles.
|
18 | Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
|
19 | Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But Jehovah delivereth him out of them all.
|
20 | He keepeth all his bones: Not one of them is broken.
|
21 | Evil shall slay the wicked; And they that hate the righteous shall be condemned.
|
22 | Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; And none of them that take refuge in him shall be condemned.
