Psalms 34

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 [Of David, when he had feigned insanity before Abimelech, and Abimelech sent him away] I wil blessYahweh at al times, his praise continual y on my lips.	1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 I will praise Yahweh from my heart; let the humble hear and rejoice.	2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 Proclaim with me the greatness of Yahweh, let us acclaim his name together.	3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 I seek Yahweh and he answers me, frees me from al my fears.	4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 Fix your gaze on Yahweh and your face wil grow bright, you wil never hang your head in shame.	5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6 A pauper calls out and Yahweh hears, saves him from all his troubles.	6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of Yahweh encamps around those who fear him, and rescues them.	7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8 Taste and see that Yahweh is good. How blessed are those who take refuge in him.	8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9 Fear Yahweh, you his holy ones; those who fear him lack for nothing.	9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 Young lions may go needy and hungry, but those who seek Yahweh lack nothing good.	10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
11 Come, my children, listen to me, I wil teach you the fear of Yahweh.	11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Who among you delights in life, longs for time to enjoy prosperity?	12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
13 Guard your tongue from evil, your lips from any breath of deceit.	13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Turn away from evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it.	14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of Yahweh are on the upright, his ear turned to their cry.	15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 But Yahweh's face is set against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.	16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 They cry in anguish and Yahweh hears, and rescues them from al their troubles.	17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 Yahweh is near to the broken-hearted, he helps those whose spirit is crushed.	18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Though hardships without number beset the upright, Yahweh brings rescue from them all.	19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
20 Yahweh takes care of all their bones, not one of them wil be broken.	20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 But to the wicked evil brings death, those who hate the upright wil pay the penalty.	21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 Yahweh ransoms the lives of those who serve him, and there wil be no penalty for those who takerefuge in him.	22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
