Psalmen 34

¹I will bless Yahweh at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.
²My soul shall boast in Yahweh. The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.
³Oh magnify Yahweh with me. Let us exalt his name together.
⁴I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.
⁵They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame.
⁶This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.
⁷The angel of Yahweh encamps round about those who fear him, And delivers them.
⁸Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
⁹Oh fear Yahweh, you his saints, For there is no lack with those who fear him.
¹⁰The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, But those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing.
¹¹Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.
¹²Who is someone who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good?
¹³Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking lies.
¹⁴Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
¹⁵Yahweh's eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.
¹⁶Yahweh's face is against those who do evil, To cut off the memory of them from the earth.
¹⁷The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.
¹⁸Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves those who have a crushed spirit.
¹⁹Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But Yahweh delivers him out of them all.
²⁰He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.
²¹Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
²²Yahweh redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
