Psalm 34 - New International Version, 2011 bible

Psalm 34

¹Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left. [1] I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.

²I will glory in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

³Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.

⁴I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

⁵Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

⁶This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.

⁷The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.

⁸Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

⁹Fear the LORD, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.

¹⁰The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

¹¹Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

¹²Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,

¹³keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.

¹⁴Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

¹⁵The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry;

¹⁶but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth.

¹⁷The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.

¹⁸The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

¹⁹The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all;

²⁰he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.

²¹Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned.

²²The LORD will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
