Psalm 34

[1]   I will bless the LORD at all times;   
         his praise shall continually be in my mouth.   
[2]   My soul makes its boast in the LORD;   
         let the humble hear and be glad.   
[3]   O magnify the LORD with me,   
         and let us exalt his name together.   
[4]   I sought the LORD, and he answered me,   
         and delivered me from all my fears.   
[5]   Look to him, and be radiant;   
         so your faces shall never be ashamed.   
[6]   This poor soul cried, and was heard by the LORD,   
         and was saved from every trouble.   
[7]   The angel of the LORD encamps   
         around those who fear him, and delivers them.   
[8]   O taste and see that the LORD is good;   
         happy are those who take refuge in him.   
[9]   O fear the LORD, you his holy ones,   
         for those who fear him have no want.   
[10]  The young lions suffer want and hunger,   
         but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

[11]  Come, O children, listen to me;   
         I will teach you the fear of the LORD.   
[12]  Which of you desires life,   
         and covets many days to enjoy good?   
[13]  Keep your tongue from evil,   
         and your lips from speaking deceit.   
[14]  Depart from evil, and do good;   
         seek peace, and pursue it.

[15]  The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous,   
         and his ears are open to their cry.   
[16]  The face of the LORD is against evildoers,   
         to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.   
[17]  When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears,   
         and rescues them from all their troubles.   
[18]  The LORD is near to the brokenhearted,   
         and saves the crushed in spirit.

[19]  Many are the afflictions of the righteous,   
         but the LORD rescues them from them all.   
[20]  He keeps all their bones;   
         not one of them will be broken.   
[21]  Evil brings death to the wicked,   
         and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.   
[22]  The LORD redeems the life of his servants;   
         none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
