Psalms - Chapter 34

¹ [Of David, when he had feigned insanity before Abimelech, and Abimelech sent him away] I will bless Yahweh at all times, his praise continually on my lips.

² I will praise Yahweh from my heart; let the humble hear and rejoice.

³ Proclaim with me the greatness of Yahweh, let us acclaim his name together.

⁴ I seek Yahweh and he answers me, frees me from all my fears.

⁵ Fix your gaze on Yahweh and your face will grow bright, you will never hang your head in shame.

⁶ A pauper calls out and Yahweh hears, saves him from all his troubles.

⁷ The angel of Yahweh encamps around those who fear him, and rescues them.

⁸ Taste and see that Yahweh is good. How blessed are those who take refuge in him.

⁹ Fear Yahweh, you his holy ones; those who fear him lack for nothing.

¹⁰ Young lions may go needy and hungry, but those who seek Yahweh lack nothing good.

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

¹² Who among you delights in life, longs for time to enjoy prosperity?

¹³ Guard your tongue from evil, your lips from any breath of deceit.

¹⁴ Turn away from evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it.

¹⁵ The eyes of Yahweh are on the upright, his ear turned to their cry.

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

¹⁷ They cry in anguish and Yahweh hears, and rescues them from all their troubles.

¹⁸ Yahweh is near to the broken-hearted, he helps those whose spirit is crushed.

¹⁹ Though hardships without number beset the upright, Yahweh brings rescue from them all.

²⁰ Yahweh takes care of all their bones, not one of them will be broken.

²¹ But to the wicked evil brings death, those who hate the upright will pay the penalty.

²² Yahweh ransoms the lives of those who serve him, and there will be no penalty for those who take refuge in him.
