Psalm 34

¹I will bless the Lord His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

²My soul shall make its boast in the Lord The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

³Oh, magnify the Lord And let us exalt His name together.

⁴I sought the Lord And delivered me from all my fears.

⁵They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed.

⁶This poor man cried out, and the Lord And saved him out of all his troubles.

⁷The angel of the Lord And delivers them.

⁸Oh, taste and see that the Lord Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

⁹Oh, fear the Lord There is no want to those who fear Him.

¹⁰The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord

¹¹Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord

¹²Who is the man who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good?

¹³Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit.

¹⁴Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.

¹⁵The eyes of the Lord And His ears are open to their cry.

¹⁶The face of the Lord To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

¹⁷The righteous cry out, and the Lord And delivers them out of all their troubles.

¹⁸The Lord And saves such as have a contrite spirit.

¹⁹Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord

²⁰He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken.

²¹Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

²²The Lord And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
