Psalms 34

1 A Psalm of David; when he changed his demeanour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

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.

2 My soul shall glory in the LORD; the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

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

3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together.

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

4 I sought the LORD, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

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

5 They looked unto Him, and were radiant; and their faces shall never be abashed.

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

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

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

7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them.

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

8 O consider and see that the LORD is good; happy is the man that taketh refuge in Him.

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

9 O fear the LORD, ye His holy ones; for there is no want to them that fear Him.

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

10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but they that seek the LORD want not any good thing.

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

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

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

12 Who is the man that desireth life, and loveth days, that he may see good therein?

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

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

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

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

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

15 The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry.

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

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

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

17 They cried, and the LORD heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.

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

18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

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

19 Many are the ills of the righteous, but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

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

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

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

21 Evil shall kill the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall be held guilty.

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

22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of His servants; and none of them that take refuge in Him shall be desolate.

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