34:1  By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless Yahweh at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.

34:2  My soul shall boast in Yahweh. The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.

34:3  Oh magnify Yahweh with me. Let us exalt his name together.

34:4  I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.

34:5  They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame.

34:6  This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.

34:7  The angel of Yahweh encamps round about those who fear him, And delivers them.

34:8  Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

34:9  Oh fear Yahweh, you his saints, For there is no lack with those who fear him.

34:10  The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, But those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing.

34:11  Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.

34:12  Who is someone who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good?

34:13  Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking lies.

34:14  Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.

34:15  Yahweh's eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.

34:16  Yahweh's face is against those who do evil, To cut off the memory of them from the earth.

34:17  The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.

34:18  Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves those who have a crushed spirit.

34:19  Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But Yahweh delivers him out of them all.

34:20  He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.

34:21  Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

34:22  Yahweh redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
