34:1  A Psalm of David, when he feigned madness before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall always be in my mouth.

34:2  My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; the humble shall hear and be glad.

34:3  O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together.

34:4  I sought the LORD, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

34:5  They looked to Him and were radiant; and their faces were not ashamed.

34:6  This poor man cried, and the LORD heard, and saved him out of all his troubles.

34:7  The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him and delivers them.

34:8  O taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him.

34:9  O fear the LORD, all you saints, for there is nothing lacking to those who fear Him.

34:10  The young lions do lack and suffer hunger, but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

34:11  Come, hearken to me, you children; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

34:12  Who is the man that desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?

34:13  Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking guile.

34:14  Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

34:15  The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.

34:16  The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

34:17  The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

34:18  The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are of a contrite spirit.

34:19  Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.

34:20  He keeps all His bones; not one of them is broken.

34:21  Evil shall slay the wicked; and those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

34:22  The LORD redeems the soul of His servants; and none of them who take refuge in Him shall be condemned.
