Psalms 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.
For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way. I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.
2 My soule shall glory in the Lord: the humble shall heare it, and be glad.
In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice.
3 Praise ye the Lord with me, and let vs magnifie his Name together.
O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me: yea, he deliuered me out of all my feare.
I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.
5 They shall looke vnto him, and runne to him: and their faces shall not be ashamed, saying,
Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded.
6 This poore man cryed, and the Lord heard him, and saued him out of all his troubles.
This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The Angel of the Lord pitcheth round about them, that feare him, and deliuereth them.
The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.
8 Taste ye and see, howe gratious the Lord is: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.
9 Feare the Lord, ye his Saintes: for nothing wanteth to them that feare him.
Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The lyons doe lacke and suffer hunger, but they, which seeke the Lord, shall want nothing that is good.
The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
11 Come children, hearken vnto me: I will teache you the feare of the Lord.
Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 What man is he, that desireth life, and loueth long dayes for to see good?
Who is the man that desireth life: who loveth to see good days?
13 Keepe thy tongue from euill, and thy lips, that they speake no guile.
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Eschewe euill and doe good: seeke peace and follow after it.
Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are vpon the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their crie.
The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers.
16 But the face of the Lord is against them that doe euill, to cut off their remembrance from the earth.
But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous crie, and the Lord heareth them, and deliuereth them out of all their troubles.
The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is neere vnto them that are of a contrite heart, and will saue such as be afflicted in Spirite.
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit.
19 Great are the troubles of the righteous: but the Lord deliuereth him out of them all.
Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.
21 But malice shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous, shall perish.
The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty.
22 The Lord redeemeth the soules of his seruants: and none, that trust in him, shall perish.
The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall offend.
