Psalmes 34

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.
