| Chapter 34 |
1 |
By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Yehovah at all times, Continually His praise is in my mouth. |
2 |
In Yehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice. |
3 |
Ascribe ye greatness to Yehovah with me, And we exalt His name together. |
4 |
I sought Yehovah, 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 Yehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him. |
7 |
A messenger of Yehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them. |
8 |
Taste ye and see that Yehovah is good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him. |
9 |
Fear Yehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him. |
10 |
Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Yehovah lack not any good, |
11 |
Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Yehovah 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 Yehovah are unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry. |
16 |
(The face of Yehovah is on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.) |
17 |
They cried, and Yehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them. |
18 |
Near is Yehovah 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 Yehovah 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 |
Yehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate! |
