Psalms 34:1-13 ▼

1 By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise is in my mouth.

2 In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice.

3 Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together.

4 I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.

5 They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed.

6 This poor one called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him.

7 A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them.

8 Taste ye and see that Jehovah is good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.

9 Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.

10 Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,

11 Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you.

12 Who is the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?

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