Psalm 34
JPS Tanakh 1917
1[A Psalm] of David; when he changed his demeanour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.

א

2I will bless the LORD at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

ב

3My soul shall glory in the LORD;
The humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

ג

4O magnify the LORD with me,
And let us exalt His name together.

ד

5I sought the LORD, and He answered me,
And delivered me from all my fears.

ה

6They looked unto Him, and were radiant;

ו

And their faces shall never be abashed.

ז

7This poor man cried, and the LORD heard,
And saved him out of all his troubles.

ח

8The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear Him,
And delivereth them.

ט

9O consider and see that the LORD is good;
Happy is the man that taketh refuge in Him.

י

10O fear the LORD, ye His holy ones;
For there is no want to them that fear Him.

כ

11The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger;
But they that seek the LORD want not any good thing.

ל

12Come, ye children, hearken unto me;
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

מ

13Who is the man that desireth life, and loveth days,
That he may see good therein?

נ

14Keep thy tongue from evil,
And thy lips from speaking guile.

ס

15Depart from evil, and do good;
Seek peace, and pursue it.

ע

16The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous,
And His ears are open unto their cry.

פ

17The face of the LORD is against them that do evil,
To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

צ

18aThey cried, and the LORD heard,
And delivered them out of all their troubles.

ק

19The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart,
And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

ר

20Many are the ills of the righteous,
But the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

ש

21He keepeth all his bones;
Not one of them is broken.

ת

22Evil shall kill the wicked;
And they that hate the righteous shall be held guilty.

23The LORD redeemeth the soul of His servants;
And none of them that take refuge in Him shall be desolate.
