Psalms 34:1-22

112I will 3blessH1288 the LordH3068 at allH3605 timesH6256; His 4praiseH8416 shall continuallyH8548 be in my mouthH6310.2My soulH5315 will 5makeH1984 its boastH1984 in the LordH3068; The 6humbleH6035 will hearH8085 it and rejoiceH8055.3O 7magnifyH1431 the LordH3068 with me, And let us 8exaltH7311 His nameH8034 togetherH3164.

4I 9soughtH1875 the LordH3068, and He answeredH6030 me, And 10deliveredH5337 me from allH3605 my fearsH4034.5They 11lookedH5027 to Him and were radiantH5102, And their facesH6440 will 12neverH408 be ashamedH2659.6ThisH2088 13poorH6041 manH6041 criedH7121, and 14the LordH3068 heardH8085 him And savedH3467 him out of allH3605 his troublesH6869.7The 15angelH4397 of the LordH3068 encampsH2583 aroundH5439 those who fearH3372 Him, And rescuesH2502 them.

8O 16tasteH2938 and seeH7200 that the LordH3068 is goodH2896; How 17blessedH835 is the manH1397 who takesH2620 refugeH2620 in Him!9O fearH3372 the LordH3068, you 18His saintsH6918; For to those who fearH3372 Him thereH369 is 19noH369 wantH4270.10The youngH3715 lionsH3715 do lackH7326 and sufferH7456 hungerH7456; But they who seekH1875 the LordH3068 shall 20not be in wantH2637 of anyH3605 goodH2896 thingH2896.1121ComeH1980, you childrenH1121, listenH8085 to me; 22I will teachH3925 you 23the fearH3374 of the LordH3068.1224WhoH4310 is the manH376 who desiresH2655 lifeH2425 And lovesH157 length of daysH3117 that he may 25seeH7200 goodH2896?13KeepH5341 26your tongueH3956 from evilH7451 And your lipsH8193 from speakingH1696 27deceitH4820.1428DepartH5493 from evilH7451 and doH6213 goodH2896; SeekH1245 peaceH7965 and 29pursueH7291 it.

15The 30eyesH5869 of the LordH3068 are towardH413 the righteousH6662 And His earsH241 are open to their cryH7775.16The 31faceH6440 of the LordH3068 is against evildoersH6213H7451, To 32cutH3772 offH3772 the memoryH2143 of them from the earthH776.17The righteous 33cryH6817, and the LordH3068 hearsH8085 And deliversH5337 them out of allH3605 their troublesH6869.18The LordH3068 34is nearH7138 to the 35brokenheartedH7665H3820 And savesH3467 those whoH1793 are 3637crushedH1793 in spiritH7307.

1938ManyH7227 are the 39afflictionsH7463 of the righteousH6662, But the LordH3068 40deliversH5337 him out of them allH3605.20He keepsH8104 allH3605 his bonesH6106, 41Not oneH259 of them is brokenH7665.2142EvilH7463 shall slayH4191 the wickedH7563, And those who hateH8130 the righteousH6662 will be 43condemnedH816.22The LordH3068 44redeemsH6299 the soulH5315 of His servantsH5650, And noneH3808H3605 of those who 45takeH2620 refugeH2620 in Him will be 46condemnedH816.
