Chapter 34 | |
1 | I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. |
2 | My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. |
3 | O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. |
4 |
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. |
5 | They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. |
6 | This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. |
7 | The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. |
8 | O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. |
9 | O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. |
10 | The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. |
11 | Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. |
12 |
What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many
days, that he may see good?
|
13 |
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
|
14 |
Depart from evil, and do good;
seek peace, and pursue it.
|
15 |
The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open
unto their cry.
|
16 |
The
face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of
them from the earth.
|
17 | The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. |
18 | The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. |
19 | Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. |
20 | He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. |
21 | Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. |
22 | The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. |
