Psalms 34:1-13 ▼

1 For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way. [1 Kings 21.] I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.

2 In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice.

3 O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together.

4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.

5 Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded.

6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.

8 O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.

9 Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

10 The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.

11 Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12 Who is the man that desireth life: who loveth to see good days?

13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
