Psalms 34
1 (33-1) <For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way.> (33-2) I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.2 (33-3) In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice.3 (33-4) O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together.4 (33-5) I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.5 (33-6) Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded.6 (33-7) This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles.7 (33-8) The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.8 (33-9) O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.9 (33-10) Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.10 (33-11) The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
11 (33-12) Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.12 (33-13) Who is the man that desireth life: who liveth to see good days?13 (33-14) Keep thy tongue form evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.14 (33-15) Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it.15 (33-16) The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers.16 (33-17) But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.17 (33-18) The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles.18 (33-19) The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit.19 (33-20) Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.20 (33-21) The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit.21 (33-22) The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty.22 (33-23) The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall offend.
