Psalms 34
1 I wil allwaye geue thankes vnto the LORDE, his prayse shal euer be in my mouth.2 My soule shall make hir boast in the LORDE: the poore oppressed shal heare therof, and be glad.3 O prayse ye LORDE with me, and let vs magnifie his name together.4 I sought the LORDE, and he herde me, yee he delyuered me out of all my feare.5 They that haue an eye vnto him, shalbe lightened, & their faces shall not be ashamed.6 This poore man cried vnto the LORDE, and he herde him, yee and delyuered him out of all his troubles.7 The angell of the LORDE pitcheth his tente rounde aboute them that feare him, and delyuereth them.8 O taist and se how frendly the LORDE is, blessed is the man yt trusteth in him.9 O feare the LORDE, ye yt be his sayntes: for they that feare him, lacke nothinge.10 The rich shal want and suffre hunger, but they which seke the LORDE, shal wat no maner of thinge, that is good.
11 Come hither (o ye children) herken vnto me, I wil teach you the feare of the LORDE.12 Who so listeth to lyue, & wolde fayne se good dayes.13 Let him refrayne his tonge from euell, and his lippes that they speake no gyle.14 Let him eschue euell, and do good: Let him seke peace & ensue it.15 For the eyes of the LORDE are ouer the rightuous, and his eares are open vnto their prayers.16 But the face of the LORDE beholdeth them that do euel, to destroye the remembraunce of them out of the earth.17 When the rightuous crie, the LORDE heareth them, and delyuereth the out of all their troubles.18 The LORDE is nye vnto them yt are contrite in hert, & wil helpe soch as be of an huble sprete.19 Greate are ye troubles of the rightuous, but the LORDE delyuereth them out of all.20 He kepeth all their bones, so yt not one of them is broken.21 But mi?fortune shal slaye the vngodly, and they that hate ye rightuous shal be giltie.22 The LORDE delyuereth the soules of his seruautes, and all they that put their trust in him, shal not offende.
