Psalms 34

The Lord, a Provider and the One Who Rescues Me.

A Psalm of David, when he pretended to be insane before ^{▼▼Possibly a title of King Achish of Gath, see 1 Sam 21:10-15}Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.

1 I will ^bbless the Lord at all times;
His ^cpraise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul will ^dmake its boast in the Lord;
The ^ehumble will hear it and rejoice.
3 ^fExalt the Lord with me,
And let’s ^gexalt His name together.

4 I ^hsought the Lord and He answered me,
And ⁱrescued me from all my fears.
5 They ^jlooked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces will ^knever be ashamed.
6 This wretched man cried out, and ^lthe Lord heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The ^mangel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him,
And rescues them.

8 ⁿTaste and see that the Lord is good;
How ^oblessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
9 Fear the Lord, you ^pHis saints;
For to those who fear Him there is ^qno lack of anything.
10 The young lions do without and suffer hunger;
But they who seek the Lord will ^rnot lack any good thing.
11 ^sCome, you children, listen to me;
^tI will teach you ^uthe fear of the Lord.
12 ^vWho is the person who desires life
And loves length of days, that he may ^wsee good?
13 Keep ^xyour tongue from evil
And your lips from speaking ^ydeceit.
14 ^zTurn from evil and do good;
Seek peace and ^aapursue it.

15 The ^abeyes of the Lord are toward the righteous,
And His ears are toward their cry for help.
16 The ^acface of the Lord is against evildoers,
To ^adeliminate the memory of them from the earth.
17 The righteous ^aecry out, and the Lord hears
And rescues them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord ^afis near to the ^agbrokenhearted
And saves those who are ^{▼▼Or contrite
,} ^aicrushed in spirit.

19 ^ajThe ^akafflictions of the righteous are many,
But the Lord ^alrescues him from them all.
20 He protects all his bones,
^amNot one of them is broken.
21 ^anEvil will bring death to the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous will suffer for their guilt.
22 The Lord ^aoredeems the souls of His servants,
And none of those who ^aptake refuge in Him will suffer for their guilt.
