Psalms 34:1-13 ▼

1 Concerning David, when he pretended to be insane in the presence of Abimelech, who drove him out, and he departed. I will praise the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.

2 I will boast in the LORD; the humble will hear and be glad.

3 Proclaim Yahweh’s greatness with me; let us exalt His name together.

4 I sought the LORD, and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears.

5 Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces will never be ashamed.

6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him from all his troubles.

7 The Angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and rescues them.

8 Taste and see that the LORD is good. How happy is the man who takes refuge in Him!

9 You who are His holy ones, fear Yahweh, for those who fear Him lack nothing.

10 Young lions lack food and go hungry, but those who seek the LORD will not lack any good thing.

11 Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

12 Who is the man who delights in life, loving a long life to enjoy what is good?

13 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.
