Psalms 34:5-17

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.

¹²What man is there who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good?

¹³Then keep your tongue from evil and keep your lips from speaking lies.

¹⁴Turn away from evil and do good. Seek peace and go after it.

¹⁵The eyes of Yahweh are on the righteous and his ears are directed toward their cry.

¹⁶The face of Yahweh is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

¹⁷The righteous cry out and Yahweh hears and he rescues them from all their troubles.
