Psalms 34:1-11

¹A psalm of David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him out. I will praise Yahweh at all times, his praise will always be in my mouth.

²I will praise Yahweh! May the oppressed hear and rejoice.

³Praise Yahweh with me, let us lift up his name together.

⁴I sought Yahweh and he answered me, and he gave me victory over all my fears.

⁵Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces are not ashamed.

⁶This oppressed man cried and Yahweh heard him and saved him from all his troubles.

⁷The angel of Yahweh camps around those who fear him and rescues them.

⁸Taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

⁹Fear Yahweh, you his holy people. There is no lack for those who fear him.

¹⁰The young lions sometimes lack food and suffer hunger, but those who seek Yahweh will not lack anything good.

¹¹Come, sons, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.
