The Psalms (WEB)
Psalm 34
By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.
34:1I will bless Yahweh at all times.
His praise will always be in my mouth.
34:2My soul shall boast in Yahweh.
The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.
34:3Oh magnify Yahweh with me.
Let us exalt his name together.
34:4I sought Yahweh, and he answered me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
34:5They looked to him, and were radiant.
Their faces shall never be covered with shame.
34:6This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
34:7The angel of Yahweh encamps round about those who fear him,
And delivers them.
34:8Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good.
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
34:9Oh fear Yahweh, you his saints,
For there is no lack with those who fear him.
34:10The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger,
But those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing.
34:11Come, you children, listen to me.
I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.
34:12Who is someone who desires life,
And loves many days, that he may see good?
34:13Keep your tongue from evil,
And your lips from speaking lies.
34:14Depart from evil, and do good.
Seek peace, and pursue it.
34:15The eyes of Yahweh are toward the righteous.
His ears listen to their cry.
34:16The face of Yahweh is against those who do evil,
To cut off the memory of them from the earth.
34:17The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
34:18Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves those who have a crushed spirit.
34:19Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But Yahweh delivers him out of them all.
34:20He protects all of his bones.
Not one of them is broken.
34:21Evil shall kill the wicked.
Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
34:22Yahweh redeems the soul of his servants.
None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
