Geneva1599 - Psalms - 34

34:1  A Psalme of Dauid, when he changed his behauiour before Abimelech, who droue him away, and he departed. I will alway giue thankes vnto the Lord: his praise shalbe in my mouth continually.

34:2  My soule shall glory in the Lord: the humble shall heare it, and be glad.

34:3  Praise ye the Lord with me, and let vs magnifie his Name together.

34:4  I sought the Lord, and he heard me: yea, he deliuered me out of all my feare.

34:5  They shall looke vnto him, and runne to him: and their faces shall not be ashamed, saying,

34:6  This poore man cryed, and the Lord heard him, and saued him out of all his troubles.

34:7  The Angel of the Lord pitcheth round about them, that feare him, and deliuereth them.

34:8  Taste ye and see, howe gratious the Lord is: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

34:9  Feare the Lord, ye his Saintes: for nothing wanteth to them that feare him.

34:10  The lyons doe lacke and suffer hunger, but they, which seeke the Lord, shall want nothing that is good.

34:11  Come children, hearken vnto me: I will teache you the feare of the Lord.

34:12  What man is he, that desireth life, and loueth long dayes for to see good?

34:13  Keepe thy tongue from euill, and thy lips, that they speake no guile.

34:14  Eschewe euill and doe good: seeke peace and follow after it.

34:15  The eyes of the Lord are vpon the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their crie.

34:16  But the face of the Lord is against them that doe euill, to cut off their remembrance from the earth.

34:17  The righteous crie, and the Lord heareth them, and deliuereth them out of all their troubles.

34:18  The Lord is neere vnto them that are of a contrite heart, and will saue such as be afflicted in Spirite.

34:19  Great are the troubles of the righteous: but the Lord deliuereth him out of them all.

34:20  He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

34:21  But malice shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous, shall perish.

34:22  The Lord redeemeth the soules of his seruants: and none, that trust in him, shall perish.
