Psalms 34:3-20 in English

³ Oh magnify Jehovah with me, And let us exalt his name together.

⁴ I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.

⁵ They looked unto him, and were radiant; And their faces shall never be confounded.

⁶ This poor man cried, and Jehovah heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.

⁷ The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, And delivereth them.

⁸ Oh taste and see that Jehovah is good: Blessed is the man that taketh refuge in him.

⁹ Oh fear Jehovah, ye his saints; For there is no want to them that fear him.

¹⁰ The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; But they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good thing.

¹¹ Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

¹² What man is he that desireth life, And loveth many days, that he may see good?

¹³ Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking guile.

¹⁴ Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it.

¹⁵ The eyes of Jehovah are toward the righteous, And his ears are open unto their cry.

¹⁶ The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

¹⁷ The righteous cried, and Jehovah heard, And delivered them out of all their troubles.

¹⁸ Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

¹⁹ Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But Jehovah delivereth him out of them all.

²⁰ He keepeth all his bones: Not one of them is broken.

³ Bring forth a sword, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am thy salvation.

⁴ Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame.

⁵ Let them be as dust before the wind, and an angel of the Lord afflicting them.

⁶ Let their way be dark and slippery, and an angel of the Lord persecuting them.

⁷ For without cause they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached my soul.

⁸ Let a snare which they know not come upon them: and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.

⁹ But my soul shall exult in the Lord: it shall delight in his salvation.

¹⁰ All my bones shall say, O Lord, who is like to thee? delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, yea, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him.

¹¹ Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I knew not.

¹² They rewarded me evil for good, and bereavement to my soul.

¹³ But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer shall return to my own bosom.

¹⁴ I behaved agreeably towards them as if it had been our neighbour or brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.

¹⁵ Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew it not: they were scattered, but repented not.

¹⁶ They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.

¹⁷ O Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, mine only-begotten one from the lions.

¹⁸ I will give thanks to thee even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise thee.

¹⁹ Let not them that are mine enemies without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.

²⁰ For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in their anger.

³ O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

⁴ I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

⁵ They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

⁷ The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

⁹ O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

¹⁰ The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

¹¹ Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

¹² What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
