Psalms 34

1 David praiseth God, and exhorteth others thereto by his experience. 8 They are blessed that trust God. 11 He exhorteth to the fear of God. 15 The privileges of the righteous.

 34:1 ¶ [[David's. When he disguised his sanity before Abimelech,—who dismissed him, and he departed. [An Alphabetical Psalm.]]] Let me bless Yahweh at all times, Continually be his praise in my mouth.

 34:2 In Yahweh, boasteth my soul, The patient oppressed-ones shall hear and be glad.

 34:3 Ascribe ye greatness unto Yahweh with me, and let us exalt his Name together.

 34:4 I enquired of Yahweh, and he hath answered me, And, out of all my terrors, hath he rescued me.

 34:5 They looked unto him and were radiant, And, as for their faces, let them not be abashed.

 34:6 This, oppressed one cried, and, Yahweh, heard—and, out of all his distresses, saved him.

 34:7 The messenger of Yahweh encampeth around them who revere him, Thus hath he delivered them.

 34:8 Oh taste and see, that good is Yahweh,—How happy the man who seeketh refuge in him!

 34:9 Revere Yahweh, ye his holy ones, For there is no want to them who revere him.

 34:10 Young lions, have come short, and suffered hunger, but, they who seek Yahweh, shall not lack any good thing.

 34:11 ¶ Come, ye children! hearken unto me, The reverence of Yahweh, will I teach you.

 34:12 Who is the man that desireth life, Loving days, that he may see good?

 34:13 Keep thy tongue from wickedness, And thy lips from speaking deceit:

 34:14 Depart from wickedness and do good, Aim at well-being, and pursue it.

 34:15 The eyes of Yahweh, are towards the righteous, And, his ears, towards their cry for help:

 34:16 The face of Yahweh, is against such as do wickedness, To cut off, from the earth, their memory.

 34:17 They made outcry, and Yahweh heard, And, out of all their straits, hath he rescued them.

 34:18 Near is Yahweh, to the broken in heart, And, the crushed in spirit, will he save.

 34:19 Many are the misfortunes of the righteous, But, out of them all, doth Yahweh rescue him.

 34:20 Keeping all his bones, Not, one from among them, is broken.

 34:21 Misfortune shall be the death of the lawless one, And, the haters of the righteous man, shall be held guilty.

 34:22 Yahweh ransometh the soul of his servants, And none shall be held guilty, who seek refuge in him.
