Psalms 34:1-14

1I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.

2I will boast in the Lord; the humble will hear and be glad.

3Proclaim the Lord’s greatness with me; let us exalt his name together.

4I sought the Lord, and he answered me and rescued me from all my fears.

5Those who look to him are radiant with joy; their faces will never be ashamed.

6This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him from all his troubles.

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

8Taste and see that the Lord is good. How happy is the person who takes refuge in him!

9You who are his holy ones, fear the Lord, for those who fear him lack nothing.

10Young lions lack food and go hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.

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

12Who is someone who desires life, loving a long life to enjoy what is good?

13Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.

14Turn away from evil and do what is good; seek peace and pursue it.
