Psalms 34
1I will praise Yahweh at all times, 1 his praise will always be in my mouth. 1
2I will praise Yahweh! 1 May the oppressed hear and rejoice. 1
3Praise Yahweh with me, 1 let us lift up his name together. 1
4I sought Yahweh and he answered me, 1 and he gave me victory over all my fears. 1
5Those who look to him are radiant, 1 and their faces are not ashamed. 1
6This oppressed man cried and Yahweh heard him 1 and saved him from all his troubles. 1
7The angel of Yahweh camps around those who fear him 1 and rescues them. 1
8Taste and see that Yahweh is good. 1 Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. 1
9Fear Yahweh, you his holy people. 1 There is no lack for those who fear him. 1
10The young lions sometimes lack food and suffer hunger, 1 but those who seek Yahweh will not lack anything good. 1
11Come, sons, listen to me. 1 I will teach you the fear of Yahweh. 1
12What man is there who desires life 1 and loves many days, 1 that he may see good? 1
13Then keep your tongue from evil 1 and keep your lips from speaking lies. 1
14Turn away from evil and do good. 1 Seek peace and go after it. 1
15The eyes of Yahweh are on the righteous 1 and his ears are directed toward their cry. 1
16The face of Yahweh is against those who do evil, 1 to cut off the memory of them from the earth. 1
17The righteous cry out and Yahweh hears 1 and he rescues them from all their troubles. 1
18Yahweh is close to the brokenhearted, 1 and he saves those who are crushed in spirit. 1
19Many are the troubles of the righteous, 1 but Yahweh delivers them out of them all. 1
20He keeps all his bones, 1 not one of them will be broken. 1
21Evil will kill the wicked. 1 Those who hate the righteous will be condemned. 1
22Yahweh rescues the lives of his servants. 1 None of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
