Psalms 34
34
By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.
1 # 34:1 Psalm 34 is an acrostic poem, with each verse starting with a letter of the alphabet (ordered from Alef to Tav). I will bless the LORD at all times.
His praise will always be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall boast in the LORD.
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3Oh magnify the LORD with me.
Let’s exalt his name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked to him, and were radiant.
Their faces shall never be covered with shame.
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him,
and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The LORD’s angel encamps around those who fear him,
and delivers them.
8Oh taste and see that the LORD is good.
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
9Oh fear the LORD, you his holy ones,
for there is no lack with those who fear him.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger,
but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
11Come, you children, listen to me.
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Who is someone who desires life,
and loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil,
and your lips from speaking lies.
14Depart from evil, and do good.
Seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The LORD’s eyes are toward the righteous.
His ears listen to their cry.
16 The LORD’s face is against those who do evil,
to cut off their memory from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the LORD hears,
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The LORD 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 the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20 He protects all of his bones.
Not one of them is broken.
21Evil shall kill the wicked.
Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
22 The LORD redeems the soul of his servants.
None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.

PSALM 34
The Lord, a Provider and Deliverer.
A Psalm of David when he feigned madness before Abimelech, who drove him away and he departed.
1I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2My soul will make its boast in the Lord;
The humble will hear it and rejoice.
3O magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.
4I sought the Lord, and He answered me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
5They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces will never be ashamed.
6This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
And saved him out of all his troubles.
7The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him,
And rescues them.
8O taste and see that the Lord is good;
How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
9O fear the Lord, you His saints;
For to those who fear Him there is no want.
10The young lions do lack and suffer hunger;
But they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing.
11Come, you children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12Who is the man who desires life
And loves length of days that he may see good?
13Keep your tongue from evil
And your lips from speaking deceit.
14Depart from evil and do good;
Seek peace and pursue it.
15The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous
And His ears are open to their cry.

To cut off the memory of them from the earth.

And delivers them out of all their troubles.

And saves those who are #Or contritecrushed in spirit.
19Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20He keeps all his bones,
Not one of them is broken.
21Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22The Lord redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.
