Chapter 34 | |
1 | I will bless YHVH at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. |
2 | My soul shall make her boast in YHVH: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. |
3 | O magnify YHVH with me, and let us exalt his name together. |
4 | I sought YHVH, 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 YHVH heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. |
7 | The angel of YHVH encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. |
8 | O taste and see that YHVH is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. |
9 | O fear YHVH, 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 YHVH shall not want any good thing. |
11 | Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of YHVH. |
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 YHVH are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. |
16 | The face of YHVH is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. |
17 | The righteous cry, and YHVH heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. |
18 | YHVH 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 YHVH 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 | YHVH redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. |
