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.
