[[Psalm 33|<< Psalm 33]] | [[Psalms|Psalms]] | [[Psalm 35|Psalm 35 >>]] ### Psalm 34 > _A_ _Psalm_ of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. 1 I WILL bless the LORD at all times: his praise _shall_ continually _be_ in my mouth. ^1 2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear _thereof_, and be glad. ^2 3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. ^3 4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. ^4 5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. ^5 6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard _him_, and saved him out of all his troubles. ^6 7 The angel of the LORD encamps round about them that fear him, and delivers them. ^7 8 O taste and see that the LORD _is_ good: blessed _is_ the man _that_ trusts in him. ^8 9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for _there_ _is_ no want to them that fear him. ^9 10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good _thing_. ^10 11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. ^11 12 What man _is_ _he_ _that_ desires life, _and_ loves _many_ days, that he may see good? ^12 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. ^13 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. ^14 15 The eyes of the LORD _are_ upon the righteous, and his ears _are_ _open_ unto their cry. ^15 16 The face of the LORD _is_ against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. ^16 17 _The_ _righteous_ cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. ^17 18 The LORD _is_ nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit. ^18 19 Many _are_ the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivers him out of them all. ^19 20 He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken. ^20 21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. ^21 22 The LORD redeems the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. ^22
