| Chapter 34 |
1 | By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise [is] in my mouth.
|
2 | In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice.
|
3 | Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together.
|
4 | I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.
|
5 | They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed.
|
6 | This poor [one] called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him.
|
7 | A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them.
|
8 | Taste ye and see that Jehovah [is] good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.
|
9 | Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.
|
10 | Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,
|
11 | Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you.
|
12 | Who [is] the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?
|
13 | Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit.
|
14 | Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.
|
15 | The eyes of Jehovah [are] unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.
|
16 | (The face of Jehovah [is] on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)
|
17 | They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them.
|
18 | Near [is] Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth.
|
19 | Many [are] the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him.
|
20 | He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken.
|
21 | Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate.
|
22 | Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!
