Psalms 34

¹> I will bless Yahweh at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.

²My soul shall boast in Yahweh. The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.

³Oh magnify Yahweh with me. Let us exalt his name together.

⁴I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.

⁵They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame.

⁶This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.

⁷The angel of Yahweh encamps round about those who fear him, And delivers them.

⁸Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

⁹Oh fear Yahweh, you his saints, For there is no lack with those who fear him.

¹⁰The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, But those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing.

¹¹Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.

¹²Who is someone who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good?

¹³Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking lies.

¹⁴Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.

¹⁵Yahweh's eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.

¹⁶Yahweh's face is against those who do evil, To cut off the memory of them from the earth.

¹⁷The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.

¹⁸Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves those who have a crushed spirit.

¹⁹Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But Yahweh delivers him out of them all.

²⁰He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.

²¹Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

²²Yahweh redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
