Psalms 34
1 I wyll alway blesse God: his prayse shall euer be in my mouth.2 My soule shal glory in God: the humble shall heare therof and be glad.3 Magnifie God with me: and let vs exalt his name [all] together.4 Carefully I sought God, & he hearde me: yea he deliuered me out of all my feare.5 Let them turne their eyes on him, and make speede to come vnto hym: and their faces shall not be ashamed.6 [Lo] this same poore man hath cryed: and God hath hearde hym, and saued hym out of all his troubles.7 The angell of God campeth rounde about them that feare hym: and deliuereth them.8 O taste and see how gracious God is: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.9 Feare God ye that be his saintes: for they that feare him lacke nothing.10 Young Lions do lacke and suffer hunger: but they whiche seeke God, shall want no maner of thing that is good.
11 Come ye chyldren and hearken vnto me: I will teache you the feare of God.12 What man is he that listeth to liue: [and] woulde fayne see good dayes.13 Kepe thy tongue from euill: and thy lippes that they speake no guyle.14 Eschewe euill & do good: seeke peace and ensue it.15 The eyes of God [are] ouer the righteous: and his eares [are open] vnto their prayers.16 The countenaunce of God is against them that do euill: to roote out the remembraunce of them from of the earth.17 The righteous crye, and God heareth them: and deliuereth them out of all their troubles.18 God is nye vnto them that are of a contrite heart: and saueth such as be of an humble spirite.19 Great are the troubles of the righteous: but God deliuereth him out of all.20 He kepeth all his bones: so that no one of them is broken.21 Malice shal put the vngodly to death: and they that hate the righteous, shalbe brought to naught.22 God redeemeth the soules of his seruauntes: and al they that put their trust in him, shall not be brought to naught.
