Psalms 34
Psalms 34
By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.
I will bless Yahweh at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth. Verse 2. My soul shall boast in Yahweh. The humble shall hear of it and be glad. Verse 3. Oh magnify Yahweh with me. Let’s exalt his name together. Verse 4. I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. Verse 5. They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame. Verse 6. This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. Verse 7. Yahweh’s angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. Verse 8. Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. Verse 9. Oh fear Yahweh, you his saints, for there is no lack with those who fear him. Verse 10. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing. Verse 11. Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Yahweh. Verse 12. Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good? Verse 13. Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies. Verse 14. Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it. Verse 15. Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry. Verse 16. Yahweh’s face is against those who do evil, to cut off their memory from the earth. Verse 17. The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Verse 18. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Verse 19. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all. Verse 20. He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken. Verse 21. Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned. Verse 22. Yahweh redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
