Psalm 34The Lord Delivers the Righteous
|
|
|
|
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.
