Psalmes 34

P S A L. XXXIII.

1 God is to be praysed for his goodnesse, 6 for his power, 12 and for his prouidence. 20 Confidence is to be placed in God.

XXXIV ¶ Reioyce in the LORD, O yee righteous: for prayse is comely for the vpright. 2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing vnto him with the Psalterie, and an instrument of ten strings. 3 Sing vnto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. 4 For the word of the LORD is right: and all his workes are done in trueth. 5 [ref][fn]Hee loueth righteousnesse and iudgement: the earth is ful of the goodnesse of the LORD. 6 [ref]By the word of the LORD were the heauens made: and all the host of them, by the breath of his mouth. 7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together, as an heape: he layeth vp the depth in storehouses. 8 Let all the earth feare the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9 For he spake, and it was done: he commanded, and it stood fast. 10 [ref][fn]The LORD bringeth the counsell of the heathen to nought: he maketh the deuices of the people, of none effect. 11 [ref][fn]The counsaile of the LORD standeth for euer, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. 12 [ref]Blessed is the nation, whose God is the LORD: and the people, whom he hath chosen for his owne inheritance. 13 The LORD looketh from heauen: he beholdeth all the sonnes of men. 14 From the place of his habitation, he looketh vpon all the inhabitants of the earth. 15 He fashioneth their hearts alike: he considereth all their workes. 16 There is no king saued by the multitude of an hoste: a mightie man is not deliuered by much strength. 17 An horse is a vaine thing for safetie: neither shall he deliuer any by his great strength. 18 [ref]Behold, the eye of the LORD is vpon them that feare him: vpon them that hope in his mercy: 19 To deliuer their soule from death, and to keepe them aliue in famine. 20 Our soule waiteth for the LORD: he is our helpe, and our shield. 21 For our heart shall reioyce in him: because we haue trusted in his holy name. 22 Let thy mercy (O LORD) be vpon vs: according as we hope in thee.

P S A L. XXXIV.

1 Dauid prayseth God, and exhorteth other thereto by his experience. 8 They are blessed that trust in God. 11 He exhorteth to the feare of God. 15 The Priuiledges of the righteous.

¶ A Psalme of Dauid, when he changed his behauiour before Abimelech: who droue him away & he departed.

XXXIV ¶ I will blesse the LORD at all times: his prayse shall continually bee in my mouth. 2 My soule shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall heare thereof, and be glad. 3 O magnifie the LORD with me, and let vs exalt his name together. 4 I sought the LORD, and hee heard me; and deliuered mee from all my feares. 5 [fn]They looked vnto him, and were lightned: and their faces were not ashamed. 6 This poore man cried, and the LORD heard him; and saued him out of all his troubles. 7 The Angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that feare him, and deliuereth them. 8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 9 O feare the LORD yee his Saints: for there is no want to them that feare him. 10 The young lyons doe lacke, and suffer hunger: but they that seeke the LORD, shall not want any good thing. 11 Come yee children, hearken vnto me: I will teach you the feare of the LORD. 12 [ref]What man is hee that desireth life; and loueth many dayes, that he may see good? 13 Keepe thy tongue from euill, and thy lippes from speaking guile. 14 Depart from euill, and doe good: seeke peace and pursue it. 15 [ref]The eies of the LORD are vpon the righteous; and his eares are open vnto their crie. 16 The face of the LORD is against them that doe euill; to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17 The righteous crie, and the LORD heareth; and deliuereth them out of all their troubles. 18 [fn][fn]The LORD is nigh vnto them that are of a broken heart: and saueth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD deliuereth him out of them all. 20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. 21 [fn]Euill shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shalbe desolate. 22 The LORD redeemech the soule of his seruants: and none of them that trust in him, shalbe desolate.
