PSALM 34
The Happiness of Those Who Trust in God
A Psalm of David when he pretended madness before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.
1 I will bless the LORD at all times;
​​His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 ​​My soul shall make its boast in the LORD;
​​The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3 ​​Oh, 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 to Him and were 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[fn] of the LORD encamps all 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 His saints!
​​There is no want to those who fear Him.
10 ​​The young lions lack and suffer hunger;
​​But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
​
11 ​​Come, you children, listen to me;
​​I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 ​​Who is the man who desires life,
​​And loves many days, 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 to those who have a broken heart,
​​And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
​
19 ​​Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
​​But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20 ​​He guards all his bones;
​​Not one of them is broken.
21 ​​Evil shall slay the wicked,
​​And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
22 ​​The LORD redeems the soul of His servants,
​​And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
