1“By David, when he disguised his reason before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.” (34:2) I will bless the Lord at all times: continually shall his praise be in my mouth.
2(34:3) My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear it, and be rejoiced.
3(34:4) Oh magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4(34:5) I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and from all that I dreaded did he deliver me.
5(34:6) They who looked unto him, were indeed enlightened, and their faces were not put to the blush.
6(34:7) This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and out of all his distresses did he save him.
7(34:8) The angel of the Lord encampeth round about those who fear him, and delivereth them.
8(34:9) Experience and see that the Lord is good: happy is the man that trusteth in him.
9(34:10) Oh fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to those who fear him.
10(34:11) The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not want any good.
11(34:12) Come, ye children, hearken unto me: the fear of the Lord will I teach you.
