Psalm 34

New Coverdale Version

I will always give thanks unto the Lord; * his praise shall ever be in my mouth.

My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; * the humble shall hear this and be glad.

O praise the Lord with me, * and let us magnify his Name together.

I sought the Lord, and he heard me; * he delivered me out of all my fears.

They looked unto him, and were made glad, * and their faces were not ashamed.

Look, the poor man cries, and the Lord hears him, * and saves him out of all his troubles.

The angel of the Lord camps round about those who fear him, * and delivers them in time of need.

O taste and see how gracious the Lord is; * blessed is the one who trusts in him.

O fear the Lord, you that are his saints; * for those who fear him lack nothing.

The lions lack and suffer hunger, * but those who seek the Lord shall lack nothing that is good.

Come, children, and listen to me; * I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

Who among you desires to live, * and longs to see good days?

Keep your tongue from evil, * and your lips from speaking lies.

Turn from evil and do good; * seek peace and pursue it.

The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, * and his ears are open to their prayers.

The countenance of the Lord is against those who do evil, * to root out the remembrance of them from the earth.

The righteous cry, and the Lord hears them * and delivers them out of all their troubles.

The Lord is near to those who are brokenhearted * and will save those who are crushed in spirit.

Great are the troubles of the righteous, * but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

He keeps all his bones, * so that not one of them is broken.

But evil shall slay the ungodly, * and those who hate the righteous shall be desolate.

The Lord delivers the souls of his servants, * and all those who put their trust in him shall not be destitute.
