# Chapter 34
|
||
1 I will bless the Lord at all times;
|
||
his praise will always be on my lips.
|
||
2 I will boast in the Lord;
|
||
the humble will hear and be glad.
|
||
3 Proclaim the Lord’s greatness with me;
|
||
let us exalt his name together.
|
||
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me
|
||
and rescued me from all my fears.
|
||
5 Those who look to him are radiant with joy;
|
||
their faces will never be ashamed.
|
||
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
|
||
and saved him from all his troubles.
|
||
7 The angel of the Lord encamps
|
||
around those who fear him, and rescues them.
|
||
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good.
|
||
How happy is the person who takes refuge in him!
|
||
9 You who are his holy ones, fear the Lord,
|
||
for those who fear him lack nothing.
|
||
10 Young lions lack food and go hungry,
|
||
but those who seek the Lord
|
||
will not lack any good thing.
|
||
11 Come, children, listen to me;
|
||
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
|
||
12 Who is someone who desires life,
|
||
loving a long life to enjoy what is good?
|
||
13 Keep your tongue from evil
|
||
and your lips from deceitful speech.
|
||
14 Turn away from evil and do what is good;
|
||
seek peace and pursue it.
|
||
15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
|
||
and his ears are open to their cry for help.
|
||
16 The face of the Lord is set
|
||
against those who do what is evil,
|
||
to remove all memory of them from the earth.
|
||
17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
|
||
and rescues them from all their troubles.
|
||
18 The Lord is near the brokenhearted;
|
||
he saves those crushed in spirit.
|
||
19 One who is righteous has many adversities,
|
||
but the Lord rescues him from them all.
|
||
20 He protects all his bones;
|
||
not one of them is broken.
|
||
21 Evil brings death to the wicked,
|
||
and those who hate the righteous will be punished.
|
||
22 The Lord redeems the life of his servants,
|
||
and all who take refuge in him will not be punished. |
