Chapter 34

I will bless the Lord at all times

His praise shall continually be in my mouth

My soul makes its boast in the Lord

Let the afflicted hear and be glad

O magnify the Lord with me

And let us exalt his name together

I sought the Lord and he answered me

And delivered me from all my fears

Look to him and be radiant

So your faces shall never be ashamed

This poor man cried and the Lord heard him

And saved him out of all his troubles

The angel of the Lord encamps

Around those who fear him and delivers them

O taste and see that the Lord is good

Happy is the man who takes refuge in him

O fear the Lord you his saints

For those who fear him have no want

The young lions suffer want and hunger

But those who seek the Lord lack no good thing

Come O sons listen to me

I will teach you the fear of the Lord

What man is there who desires life

And covets many days that he may enjoy good

Keep your tongue from evil

And your lips from speaking deceit

Depart from evil and do good

Seek peace and pursue it

The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous

And his ears toward their cry

The face of the Lord is against evildoers

To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth

When the righteous cry for help the Lord hears

And delivers them out of all their troubles

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted

And saves the crushed in spirit

Many are the afflictions of the righteous

But the Lord delivers him out of them all

He keeps all his bones

Not one of them is broken

Evil shall slay the wicked

And those who hate the righteous will be condemned

The Lord redeems the life of his servants

None of those who take refuge in him will be condemned
