< Psalms 34

[1] I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

[2] My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

[3] O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

[4] I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

[5] They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

[6] This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

[7] The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

[8] O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

[9] O fear the LORD, ye 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 the LORD shall not want any good thing.

[11] Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

[12] What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?

[13] Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

[14] Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

[15] The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

[16] The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

[17] The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

[18] The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

[19] Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

[20] He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

[21] Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

[22] The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
