Psalms 34:5-19

⁵Nigh ye to him, and be ye lightened, (or Go ye near to him, and ye shall shine with joy); and your faces shall not be shamed.

⁶This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him; and saved him from all his tribulations.

⁷The angel of the Lord sendeth in the compass of men dreading him; and he shall deliver them. (The angel of the Lord guardeth those who fear him or who revere him; and he rescueth them.)

⁸Taste ye, and see, for the Lord is sweet; blessed is the man, that hopeth in him. (Taste ye, and see, that the Lord is good; happy is the person, who trusteth in him.)

⁹All ye holy men of the Lord, dread ye him; for no neediness is to men dreading him. (All ye holy people of the Lord, fear him; for there is no neediness in those who fear him./All ye holy people of the Lord, revere him; for there is no neediness in those who revere him.)

¹⁰Rich men were needy, and were hungry; but men that seek the Lord shall not fail of all good (or but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing).

¹¹Come, ye sons, hear ye me; I shall teach you the dread of the Lord. (Come, ye sons and daughters, and listen ye to me; I shall teach you the fear of the Lord or I shall teach you to revere the Lord.)

¹²Who is the man, that willeth life; that loveth to see good days? (Who is the person who desireth life? who loveth to see good days?)

¹³Forbid thy tongue from evil; and thy lips speak not guile (or and do not let thy lips speak deceitfully).

¹⁴Turn thou away from evil, and do good; seek thou peace, and perfectly follow thou it.

¹⁵The eyes of the Lord be on just men (or The eyes of the Lord be on the righteous); and his ears be to their prayers.

¹⁶But the cheer of the Lord is on men doing evils; that he lose the mind of them from the earth. (But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil; and he shall blot out the memory of them from off the earth.)

¹⁷Just men cried or The rightwise cried, and the Lord heard them; and delivered them from all their tribulations (or and he rescued, or saved, them from all their troubles).

¹⁸The Lord is nigh to them that be of troubled heart; and he shall save meek men in spirit. (The Lord is near to those who have a troubled heart; and he saveth those whose spirit is meek, or is humble.)

¹⁹Many tribulations be of just men; and the Lord shall deliver them from all these. (Many troubles be to the righteous; but the Lord shall rescue, or save, them out of all of them.)
