Palm 34

Psalm 34 (New American Standard Bible)

    ¹I will bless the LORD at all times;
         His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
    ²My soul will make its boast in the LORD;
         The humble will hear it and rejoice.
    ³O magnify the LORD with me,
         And let us exalt His name together.
    ⁴I sought the LORD, and He answered me,
         And delivered me from all my fears.
    ⁵They looked to Him and were radiant,
         And their faces will never be ashamed.
    ⁶This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him
         And saved him out of all his troubles.
    ⁷The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him,
         And rescues them.
    ⁸O taste and see that the LORD is good;
         How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
    ⁹O fear the LORD, you His saints;
         For to those who fear Him there is no want.
    ¹⁰The young lions do lack and suffer hunger;
         But they who seek the LORD shall not be in want of any good thing.
    ¹¹Come, you children, listen to me;
         I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
    ¹²Who is the man who desires life
         And loves length of days that he may see good?
    ¹³Keep your tongue from evil
         And your lips from speaking deceit.
    ¹⁴Depart from evil and do good;
         Seek peace and pursue it.
    ¹⁵The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous
         And His ears are open to their cry.
    ¹⁶The face of the LORD is against evildoers,
         To cut off the memory of them from the earth.
    ¹⁷The righteous cry, and the LORD hears
         And delivers them out of all their troubles.
    ¹⁸The LORD is near to the brokenhearted
         And saves those who are crushed in spirit.
    ¹⁹Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
         But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
    ²⁰He keeps all his bones,
        Not one of them is broken.
    ²¹Evil shall slay the wicked,
         And those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
    ²²The LORD redeems the soul of His servants,
         And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.
