Ps 34
0 Psalm 34 A Psalm of David; when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, who drove
him away, and he departed.
1
I will bless YHWH at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2
My soul shall make her boast in YHWH: The meek shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3
Oh magnify YHWH with me, And let us exalt his name together.
4
I sought YHWH, and he answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.
5
They looked to him, and were radiant; And their faces shall never be confounded.
6
This poor man cried, and YHWH heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.
7
The angel of YHWH encamps round about them that fear him, And delivers them.
8
Oh taste and see that YHWH is good: Blessed is the man that takes refuge in
him.
9
Oh fear YHWH, you 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 YHWH shall not want
any good thing.
11
Come, you children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of YHWH.
12
What man is he who desires life, And loves [many] days, that he may see good?
13
Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking guile.
14
Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it.
15
The eyes of YHWH are toward the righteous, And his ears are [open] to their cry.
16
The face of YHWH is against them that do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them
from the earth.
17
[The righteous] cried, and YHWH heard, And delivered them out of all their troubles.
18
YHWH is nigh to them that are of a broken heart, And saves such as are of a contrite
spirit.
19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But YHWH delivers him out of them all.
20
He keeps 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
YHWH redeems the soul of his servants; And none of them that take refuge in him shall
be condemned.
