Psalms 34

¹I will always thank the LORD; I will never stop praising him.

²I will praise him for what he has done; may all who are oppressed listen and be glad!

³Proclaim with me the LORD's greatness; let us praise his name together!

⁴I prayed to the LORD, and he answered me; he freed me from all my fears.

⁵The oppressed look to him and are glad; they will never be disappointed.

⁶The helpless call to him, and he answers; he saves them from all their troubles.

⁷His angel guards those who honor the LORD and rescues them from danger.

⁸Find out for yourself how good the LORD is. Happy are those who find safety with him.

⁹Honor the LORD, all his people; those who obey him have all they need.

¹⁰Even lions go hungry for lack of food, but those who obey the LORD lack nothing good.

¹¹Come, my young friends, and listen to me, and I will teach you to honor the LORD.

¹²Would you like to enjoy life? Do you want long life and happiness?

¹³Then keep from speaking evil and from telling lies.

¹⁴Turn away from evil and do good; strive for peace with all your heart.

¹⁵The LORD watches over the righteous and listens to their cries;

¹⁶but he opposes those who do evil, so that when they die, they are soon forgotten.

¹⁷The righteous call to the LORD, and he listens; he rescues them from all their troubles.

¹⁸The LORD is near to those who are discouraged; he saves those who have lost all hope.

¹⁹Good people suffer many troubles, but the LORD saves them from them all;

²⁰the LORD preserves them completely; not one of their bones is broken.

²¹Evil will kill the wicked; those who hate the righteous will be punished.

²²The LORD will save his people; those who go to him for protection will be spared.
