Psalms 34:1-13 ▼

1 Of David, in his changing his behavior before Abimelech, and he drove him off, and he went. I will bless YHWH at every time; His praise is continually in my mouth.

2 In YHWH my soul boasts; let the humble hear and be glad.

3 Magnify YHWH with me, and let us exalt His name together.

4 I sought YHWH, and He answered me, and He snatched me up from all my fears.

5 They looked toward Him, and they shone, and their faces were not ashamed.

6 This poor one called out, and YHWH heard, and from all his troubles He saved him.

7 The angel of YHWH encamps all around those who fear Him, and he rescues them.

8 Taste and see that YHWH is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him.

9 Fear YHWH, His holy ones, for There is no lack for those fearing Him.

10 The young lions are in want and are hungry, and those seeking YHWH shall not lack any good thing.

11 Come, my sons, listen to me; the fear of YHWH I will teach you⁺.

12 Who is the man desiring life, loving days, that he may see good?

13 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.
