Psalms Psalm 34

1I will always give thanks unto the Lord: his praise shall be in my mouth continually.

2My soul shall glory in the Lord: the humble shall hear it and be glad.

3Praise ye the Lord with me, and let us magnify his Name together.

4I sought the Lord, and he heard me: yea, he delivered me out of all my fear.

5They shall look unto him, and run to him: and their faces shall not be ashamed, saying,

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

7The Angel of the Lord pitched round about them, that fear him, and delivereth them.

8Taste ye and see, how gracious the Lord is: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

9Fear the Lord ye his Saints: for nothing wanteth to them that fear him.

10The lions do lack and suffer hunger, but they which seek the Lord, shall want nothing that is good.

11Come children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12What man is he that desireth life, and loveth long days for to see good?

13Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips, that they speak no guile.

14Eschew evil and do good: seek peace and follow after it.

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

16But the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off their remembrance from the earth.

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

18The Lord is near unto them that are of a contrite heart, and will save such as be afflicted in spirit.

19Great are the troubles of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

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

21But malice shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous, shall perish.

22The Lord redeemeth the souls of his servants: and none that trust in him, shall perish.
