Psalms 34:1-22

11I will 2bless the Lord at all times; His 3praise shall continually be in my mouth.2My soul will 4make its boast in the Lord; The 5humble will hear it and rejoice.36Exalt the Lord with me, And let’s 7exalt His name together.

4I 8sought the Lord and He answered me, And 9rescued me from all my fears.5They 10looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces will 11never be ashamed.6This wretched man cried out, and 12the Lord heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.7The 13angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues them.

814Taste and see that the Lord is good; How 15blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!9Fear the Lord, you 16His saints; For to those who fear Him there is 17no lack of anything.10The young lions do without and suffer hunger; But they who seek the Lord will 18not lack any good thing.1119Come, you children, listen to me; 20I will teach you 21the fear of the Lord.1222Who is the person who desires life And loves length of days, that he may 23see good?13Keep 24your tongue from evil And your lips from speaking 25deceit.1426Turn from evil and do good; Seek peace and 27pursue it.

15The 28eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, And His ears are toward their cry for help.16The 29face of the Lord is against evildoers, To 30eliminate the memory of them from the earth.17The righteous 31cry out, and the Lord hears And rescues them from all their troubles.18The Lord 32is near to the 33brokenhearted And saves those who are 3435crushed in spirit.

1936The 37afflictions of the righteous are many, But the Lord 38rescues him from them all.20He protects all his bones, 39Not one of them is broken.2140Evil will bring death to the wicked, And those who hate the righteous will suffer for their guilt.22The Lord 41redeems the souls of His servants, And none of those who 42take refuge in Him will suffer for their guilt.
