A psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour in the presence of Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.
34
📚✭✭I will praise the LORDat all times.
His praise will continually be
in my mouth.
2 📚My soul will make its boast
in the LORD.
The humble will hear of this
and be glad.
3 📚O glorify 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 to him
and became radiant,
and their faces were not ashamed.
6 📚This poor man cried out,
and the LORD heard him,
and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 📚✭The angel of the LORD encamps
around those who fear him
and delivers them.
8 📚✭Oh, taste and see that the LORD
is good!
Blessed is the man
who trusts in him.
9 📚✭Oh, fear the LORD,
you saints of his;
for there is no lack
to those who fear him.
10 📚✭The young lions are in want
and suffer hunger;
but those who seek the LORD
will not lack anything good.
11 📚✭Come, you children,
listen to me.
I will teach you the fear
of the LORD.
12 📚What man is there who
desires life,
and loves to have many days,
so that he may see good?
13 📚Keep your tongue from evil,
and your lips from speaking
deceit.
14 📚Depart from evil and do good.
Seek peace, and pursue it.
15 📚✭The eyes of the LORD are
on the righteous,
and his ears are open
to their cry.
16 📚The face of the LORD is against
those who do evil,
to cut off the remembrance
of them from the earth.
17 📚The righteous cry out,
and the LORD hears and
delivers them out of all
their troubles.
18 📚✭The LORD is near those
who are of a broken heart,
and saves those who are crushed
in spirit.
19 📚✭Many are the distresses
of the righteous,
but the LORD delivers him
out of them all.
20 📚✭He protects all his bones;
not one of them is broken.
21 📚✭Evil will slay the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous
will be condemned.
22 📚The LORD redeems the soul
of his servants,
and none of those who trust
in him will be condemned.
