Psalms 34
1 BY DAVID, IN HIS CHANGING HIS BEHAVIOR BEFORE ABIMELECH, AND HE DRIVES HIM AWAY, AND HE GOES. [ALEPH-BET] I bless YHWH at all times, || His praise [is] continually in my mouth.2 In YHWH my soul boasts herself, || The humble hear and rejoice.3 Ascribe greatness to YHWH with me, || And we exalt His Name together.4 I sought YHWH, and He answered me, || And delivered me from all my fears.5 They looked expectingly to Him, || And they became bright, || And their faces are not ashamed.6 This poor [one] called, and YHWH heard, || And saved him from all his distresses.7 A messenger of YHWH is encamping, || Around those who fear Him, || And He arms them.8 Taste and see that YHWH [is] good, || O the blessedness of the man who trusts in Him.9 Fear YHWH, you His holy ones, || For there is no lack to those fearing Him.10 Young lions have lacked and been hungry, || And those seeking YHWH do not lack any good,
11 Come, children, listen to me, || I teach you the fear of YHWH.12 Who [is] the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?13 Keep your tongue from evil, || And your lips from speaking deceit.14 Turn aside from evil and do good, || Seek peace and pursue it.15 The eyes of YHWH [are] to the righteous, || And His ears to their cry.16 (The face of YHWH [is] on doers of evil, || To cut off their memorial from earth.)17 They cried, and YHWH heard, || And delivered them from all their distresses.18 YHWH [is] near to the broken of heart, || And He saves the bruised of spirit.19 Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous, || YHWH delivers him out of them all.20 He is keeping all his bones, || Not one of them has been broken.21 Evil puts the wicked to death, || And those hating the righteous are desolate.22 YHWH redeems the soul of His servants, || And none trusting in Him are desolate!
