Psalms 34
1 A psalm of David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him out. I will praise Yahweh at all times, his praise will always 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 I will praise Yahweh! May the oppressed hear and rejoice.
My soule shall glory in the Lord: the humble shall heare it, and be glad.
3 Praise Yahweh with me, let us lift up his name together.
Praise ye the Lord with me, and let vs magnifie his Name together.
4 I sought Yahweh and he answered me, and he gave me victory over all my fears.
I sought the Lord, and he heard me: yea, he deliuered me out of all my feare.
5 Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces are not ashamed.
They shall looke vnto him, and runne to him: and their faces shall not be ashamed, saying,
6 This oppressed man cried and Yahweh heard him and saved him from all his troubles.
This poore man cryed, and the Lord heard him, and saued him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of Yahweh camps around those who fear him and rescues them.
The Angel of the Lord pitcheth round about them, that feare him, and deliuereth them.
8 Taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
Taste ye and see, howe gratious the Lord is: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9 Fear Yahweh, you his holy people. There is no lack for those who fear him.
Feare the Lord, ye his Saintes: for nothing wanteth to them that feare him.
10 The young lions sometimes lack food and suffer hunger, but those who seek Yahweh will not lack anything good.
The lyons doe lacke and suffer hunger, but they, which seeke the Lord, shall want nothing that is good.
11 Come, sons, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.
Come children, hearken vnto me: I will teache you the feare of the Lord.
12 What man is there who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good?
What man is he, that desireth life, and loueth long dayes for to see good?
13 Then keep your tongue from evil and keep your lips from speaking lies.
Keepe thy tongue from euill, and thy lips, that they speake no guile.
14 Turn away from evil and do good. Seek peace and go after it.
Eschewe euill and doe good: seeke peace and follow after it.
15 The eyes of Yahweh are on the righteous and his ears are directed toward their cry.
The eyes of the Lord are vpon the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their crie.
16 The face of Yahweh is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory 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 The righteous cry out and Yahweh hears and he rescues them from all their troubles.
The righteous crie, and the Lord heareth them, and deliuereth them out of all their troubles.
18 Yahweh is close to the brokenhearted, and he saves those who are crushed in 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 troubles of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers them out of them all.
Great are the troubles of the righteous: but the Lord deliuereth him out of them all.
20 He keeps all his bones, not one of them will be broken.
He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 Evil will kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
But malice shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous, shall perish.
22 Yahweh rescues the lives of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
The Lord redeemeth the soules of his seruants: and none, that trust in him, shall perish.
