Psalms 34:6-21

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.

¹²(34:13) Who is the man that desireth life, loveth many days, that he may see happiness?

¹³(34:14) Guard thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking deceit.

¹⁴(34:15) Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

¹⁵(34:16) The eyes of the Lord are directed unto the righteous, and his ears unto their cry.

¹⁶(34:17) But the anger of the Lord is against those that do evil, to cut off from the earth their remembrance.

¹⁷(34:18) Those cry, and the Lord heareth, and from all their distresses he delivereth them.

¹⁸(34:19) The Lord is nigh unto those that are broken-hearted: and he saveth those that are of a contrite spirit.

¹⁹(34:20) Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but out of them all the Lord ever delivereth him.

²⁰(34:21) He watcheth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

²¹(34:22) The evil will slay the wicked: and they who hate the righteous shall incur guiltiness.
