Psalms 34 — A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.

¹I will bless Yahuah (LORD) at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

²My soul shall make her boast in Yahuah (LORD): the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

³O magnify Yahuah (LORD) with me, and let us exalt his name together.

⁴I sought Yahuah (LORD), and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

⁵They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

⁶This poor man cried, and Yahuah (LORD) heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

⁷The angel of Yahuah (LORD) encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivers them.

⁸O taste and see that Yahuah (LORD) is good: blessed is the man that trusts in him.

⁹O fear Yahuah (LORD), you his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

¹⁰The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek Yahuah (LORD) shall not want any good thing.

¹¹Come, you children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Yahuah (LORD).

¹²What man is he that desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?

¹³Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile.

¹⁴Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

¹⁵The eyes of Yahuah (LORD) are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

¹⁶The face of Yahuah (LORD) is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

¹⁷The righteous cry, and Yahuah (LORD) hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

¹⁸Yahuah (LORD) is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit.

¹⁹Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but Yahuah (LORD) delivers him out of them all.

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

²¹Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

²²Yahuah (LORD) redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
