Chapter 34

  A Psalm of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.  

-

  My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear of it and be glad.  

-

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

-

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

-

  They looked to him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.  

-

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

-

  The angel of the LORD encampeth around them that fear him, and delivereth them.  

-

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

-

  O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.  

-

  The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.  

-

  Come, ye children, hearken to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.  

-

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

-

  Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.  

-

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

-

  The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry.  

-

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

-

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

-

  The LORD is nigh to them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.  

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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