Psalms 34:1-13 ▼

1 [A Psalm] of David; when he changed his demeanour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul shall glory in the LORD; The humble shall hear thereof, 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 They looked unto Him, and were radiant; And their faces shall never be abashed.

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

7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear Him, And delivereth them.

8 O consider and see that the LORD is good; Happy is the man that taketh refuge in Him.

9 O fear the LORD, ye His holy ones; For there is no want to them that fear Him.

10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; But they that seek the LORD want not any good thing.

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

12 Who is the man that desireth life, and loveth days, That he may see good therein?

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