Psalms 34:9-22

9Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,
for those who fear him have no lack!
10 aThe young lions suffer want and hunger;
but those who bseek the Lord lack no good thing.
11 cCome, O children, listen to me;
dI will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 eWhat man is there who desires life
and loves many days, that he may fsee good?
13 gKeep your tongue from evil
and your lips from hspeaking deceit.
14 iTurn away from evil and do good;
seek peace and jpursue it.
15 kThe eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous
land his ears toward their cry.
16 mThe face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to ncut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 oWhen the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18The Lord is near to pthe brokenhearted
and saves qthe crushed in spirit.
19 rMany are the afflictions of the righteous,
sbut the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20He keeps all his bones;
tnot one of them is broken.
21 uAffliction will slay the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22The Lord vredeems the life of his servants;
none of those who take refuge in him will be wcondemned.
