Tehillim 34
34
(Of Dovid, when he feigned insanity before Avimelech, who drove him away, and he went out)
1 I will make a bracha of praise unto Hashem at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My nefesh shall make its boast in Hashem; the anavim (humble) shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify Hashem with me, and let us exalt Shmo together.
4 I sought Hashem, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto Him, and were radiant; and their panim were not ashamed.
6 The oni (poor man) cried, and Hashem heard him, and saved him out of all his tzoros.
7 The Malach Hashem encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them.
8 O taste and see that Hashem is tov; ashrei is the man that taketh refuge in Him.
9 O fear Hashem, ye His Kedoshim; for there is no lack to them that fear Him.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but they that seek Hashem shall not lack any good thing.
11 Come, ye banim, pay heed unto me; I will teach you the fear of Hashem.
12 What ish is he that desireth chayyim, and loveth many days, that he may see tov?
13 Keep thy tongue from rah, and thy lips from speaking mirmah.#34:13 guile, see Isa 53:9 where it says Moshiach will lack mirmah
14 Depart from rah, and do tov; seek shalom, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of Hashem are upon the tzaddikim, and His ears open to their cry.
16 The face of Hashem is against them that do rah, to cut off the zekher (remembrance) of them from ha'aretz.
17 The tzaddikim cry, and Hashem heareth, and delivereth them out of all their tzoros.
18 Hashem is near unto them whose lev is broken; and saveth such whose ruach is contrite.
19 Many are the afflictions of the tzaddik; but Hashem delivereth him out of them all.
20 He keepeth shomer over all his bones; not one of them is broken.#34:20 Jn 19:36
21 Evil shall slay the resha'im; and they that hate the tzaddik shall be desolate.
22 Hashem redeemeth the nefesh of His avadim; and none of them that take refuge in Him shall be condemned.#34:22 See Ro 5:1; 8:1

Tehillim (Psa) 34
34
1By David, when he pretended to be insane before Avimelekh, who then drove him away; so he left:
2I will bless Adonai at all times;
his praise will always be in my mouth.
3When I boast, it will be about Adonai;
the humble will hear of it and be glad.
4Proclaim with me the greatness of Adonai;
let us exalt his name together.
5I sought Adonai, and he answered me;
he rescued me from everything I feared.
6They looked to him and grew radiant;
their faces will never blush for shame.
7This poor man cried; Adonai heard
and saved him from all his troubles.
8The angel of Adonai, who encamps
around those who fear him, delivers them.
9Taste, and see that Adonai is good.
How blessed are those who take refuge in him!
10Fear Adonai, you holy ones of his,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
11Young lions can be needy, they can go hungry,
but those who seek Adonai lack nothing good.
12Come, children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of Adonai.
13Which of you takes pleasure in living?
Who wants a long life to see good things?
14[If you do,] keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from deceiving talk;
15turn from evil, and do good;
seek peace, go after it!
16The eyes of Adonai watch over the righteous,
and his ears are open to their cry.
17But the face of Adonai opposes those who do evil,
to cut off all memory of them from the earth.
18[The righteous] cried out, and Adonai heard,
and he saved them from all their troubles.
19Adonai is near those with broken hearts;
he saves those whose spirit is crushed.
20The righteous person suffers many evils,
but Adonai rescues him out of them all.
21He protects all his bones;
not one of them gets broken.
22Evil will kill the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
23But Adonai redeems his servants;
no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
