Psalm 34
NASB 1995
The LORD, a Provider and Deliverer.

A Psalm of David when he feigned madness before Abimelech, who drove him away and he departed.

1I will bless the LORD at all times;
            His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

      2My soul will make its boast in the LORD;
            The humble will hear it and rejoice.

      3O magnify the LORD with me,
            And let us exalt His name together.

      4I sought the LORD, and He answered me,
            And delivered me from all my fears.

      5They looked to Him and were radiant,
            And their faces will never be ashamed.

      6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him
            And saved him out of all his troubles.

      7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him,
            And rescues them.

      8O taste and see that the LORD is good;
            How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!

      9O fear the LORD, you His saints;
            For to those who fear Him there is no want.

      10The young lions do lack and suffer hunger;
            But they who seek the LORD shall not be in want of any good thing.

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

      12Who is the man who desires life
            And loves length of days that he may see good?

      13Keep your tongue from evil
            And your lips from speaking deceit.

      14Depart from evil and do good;
            Seek peace and pursue it.

      15The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous
            And His ears are open to their cry.

      16The face of the LORD is against evildoers,
            To cut off the memory of them from the earth.

      17The righteous cry, and the LORD hears
            And delivers them out of all their troubles.

      18The LORD is near to the brokenhearted
            And saves those who are crushed in spirit.

      19Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
            But the LORD delivers him out of them all.

      20He keeps all his bones,
            Not one of them is broken.

      21Evil shall slay the wicked,
            And those who hate the righteous will be condemned.

      22The LORD redeems the soul of His servants,
            And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.
