| Chapter 34 |
1 |
A Psalm of David; when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless Jehovah at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth. --
|
2 |
My soul shall make her boast in Jehovah: The meek shall hear thereof, and be glad. --
|
3 |
Oh magnify Jehovah with me, And let us exalt his name together. --
|
4 |
I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, And delivered me from all my fears. --
|
5 |
They looked unto him, and were radiant; And their faces shall never be confounded. --
|
6 |
This poor man cried, and Jehovah heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. --
|
7 |
The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, And delivereth them. --
|
8 |
Oh taste and see that Jehovah is good: Blessed is the man that taketh refuge in him. --
|
9 |
Oh fear Jehovah, 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 Jehovah shall not want any good thing. --
|
11 |
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah. --
|
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 Jehovah are toward the righteous, And his ears are [open] unto their cry. --
|
16 |
The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. --
|
17 |
[The righteous] cried, and Jehovah heard, And delivered them out of all their troubles. --
|
18 |
Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit. --
|
19 |
Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But Jehovah 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 condemned. --
|
22 |
Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; And none of them that take refuge in him shall be condemned. --
