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.
