34:2 In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice.
34:3 Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together.
34:4 I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.
34:5 They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed.
34:6 This poor `one' called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him.
34:7 A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them.
34:8 Taste ye and see that Jehovah `is' good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.
34:9 Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.
34:10 Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,
34:11 Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you.
34:12 Who `is' the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?
34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit.
34:14 Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.
34:15 The eyes of Jehovah `are' unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.
34:16 (The face of Jehovah `is' on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)
34:17 They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them.
34:18 Near `is' Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth.
34:19 Many `are' the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him.
34:20 He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken.
34:21 Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate.
34:22 Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!
