The In-Dept Study of the Bible
Psalms 034
By David; when he pretended to be insane
before Abimelech, who drove him away,
and he departed.
1 † I will bless Yahweh at all times.
His praise will always be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall boast in Yahweh.
The humble shall hear of it and be
glad.
3 Oh magnify Yahweh with me.
Let’s exalt his name together.
4 I sought Yahweh, and he answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked to him, and were radiant.
Their faces shall never be covered
with shame.
6 This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard
him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 Yahweh’s angel encamps around those
who fear him, and delivers them.
8 Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good.
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in
him.
9 Oh fear Yahweh, you his saints,
for there isno lack withthose who fear
him.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer
hunger, but those who seek Yahweh shall not
lack any good thing.
11 Come, you children, listen to me.
I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.
12 Who is someone who desires life,
and loves many days, that he may see
good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil,
and your lips from speaking lies.
14 Depart from evil, and do good.
Seek peace, and pursue it.
15 Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous.
His ears listen to their cry.
16 Yahweh’s face is against those who do
evil, to cut off their memory from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears,
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 Yahweh is near to those who have a
broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed
spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but Yahweh delivers him out of them all.
20 He protects all of his bones.
Not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall kill the wicked.
Those who hate the righteous shall be
condemned.
22 Yahweh redeems the soul ofhis servants.
None of those who take refuge in him
shall be condemned.
