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.
5They 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.
