Chapter 34

  By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise [is] in my mouth.  

-

  In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice.  

-

  Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together.  

-

  I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.  

-

  They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed.  

-

  This poor [one] called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him.  

-

  A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them.  

-

  Taste ye and see that Jehovah [is] good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.  

-

  Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.  

-

  Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,  

-

  Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you.  

-

  Who [is] the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?  

-

  Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit.  

-

  Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.  

-

  The eyes of Jehovah [are] unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.  

-

  (The face of Jehovah [is] on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)  

-

  They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them.  

-

  Near [is] Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth.  

-

  Many [are] the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him.  

-

  He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken.  

-

  Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate.  

-

  Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!
