The Book of Psalms, Chapter 34
|
1 |
I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually
be in my mouth.
|
2 |
My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear
thereof, and be glad.
|
3 |
O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
|
4 |
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my
fears.
|
5 |
They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were
not ashamed.
|
6 |
This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of
all his troubles.
|
7 |
The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him,
and delivereth them.
|
8 |
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that
trusteth in him.
|
9 |
O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that
fear him.
|
10 |
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek
the LORD shall not want any good thing.
|
11 |
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of
the LORD.
|
12 |
What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he
may see good?
|
13 |
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
|
14 |
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
|
15 |
The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are
open unto their cry.
|
16 |
The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off
the remembrance of them from the earth.
|
17 |
The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out
of all their troubles.
|
18 |
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and
saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
|
19 |
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD
delivereth him out of them all.
|
20 |
He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
|
21 |
Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous
shall be desolate.
|
22 |
The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them
that trust in him shall be desolate.
