Psalms 34:1-13 ▼

1 <V 33:1>To David, when he changed his appearance in the sight of Abimelech, and so he dismissed him, and he went away. <V 33:2>I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise will be ever in my mouth.

2 <V 33:3>In the Lord, my soul will be praised. May the meek listen and rejoice.

3 <V 33:4>Magnify the Lord with me, and let us extol his name in itself.

4 <V 33:5>I sought the Lord, and he heeded me, and he carried me away from all my tribulations.

5 <V 33:6>Approach him and be enlightened, and your faces will not be confounded.

6 <V 33:7>This poor one cried out, and the Lord heeded him, and he saved him from all his tribulations.

7 <V 33:8>The Angel of the Lord will encamp around those who fear him, and he will rescue them.

8 <V 33:9>Taste and see that the Lord is sweet. Blessed is the man who hopes in him.

9 <V 33:10>Fear the Lord, all you his saints. For there is no destitution for those who fear him.

10 <V 33:11>The rich have been needy and hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not be deprived of any good thing.

11 <V 33:12>Come forward, sons. Listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12 <V 33:13>Which is the man who wills life, who chooses to see good days?

13 <V 33:14>Prohibit your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.
