Chapter 34 |
1 | I will bless
the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. |
2 |
My soul shall make her boast 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 heard me, and delivered me from
all my fears. |
5 | They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their
faces were not ashamed. |
6 | This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him,
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 taste and
see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. |
9 | O
fear the LORD, ye his saints: 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
shall not want any good thing. |
11 | Come, ye children, hearken
unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. |
12 | What man is
he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? |
13 |
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. |
14 |
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. |
15 | The eyes
of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
|
16 | The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the
remembrance of them from the earth. |
17 | The righteous cry, and the
LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. |
18 | The
LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a
contrite spirit. |
19 | Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the
LORD delivereth him out of them all. |
20 | He keepeth all his bones: not
one of them is broken. |
21 | Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that
hate the righteous shall be desolate. |
22 | The LORD redeemeth the soul
of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. |
