Chapter 34
1I will bless AO at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2My soul shall make her boast in AO: let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
3O magnify AO with me, and let us exalt His Name together.
4I sought AO, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5Look to Him, and be lightened: do not let your face be ashamed.
6This poor man cried, and AO heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7The angel of AO encamps around them that fear Him, and delivers them.
8O taste and see that AO is good: blessed is the man that trusts in Him.
9O fear AO, you His saints: for those who fear Him lack nothing.
10Even young lions sometimes lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek AO shall not want any good thing.
11Come, you children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of AO.
12Which of you loves life and desires many days to live a long, happy life?
13Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile.
14Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15The eyes of AO are upon the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.
16The face of AO is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17The righteous cry, and AO hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18AO is near to them that are of a broken heart; and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
19Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but AO delivers Him out of them all.
20He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21Evil will kill the wicked: and they that hate the righteous will be desolate.
22AO redeems the soul of His servants: and none of them that trust in Him will be desolate.
