Psaumes 34

¹ I will bless Jehovah at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. ² My soul shall make its boast in Jehovah: the meek shall hear, and rejoice. ³ 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 enlightened, and their faces were not confounded. ⁶ This afflicted one called, 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 Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him! ⁹ Fear Jehovah, ye his saints; for there is no want to them that fear him. ¹⁰ The young lions are in need and suffer hunger; but they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good. ¹¹ Come, ye sons, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah. ¹² What man is he that desireth life, [and] loveth 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 upon the righteous, and his ears are toward 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] cry, and Jehovah heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. ¹⁸ Jehovah is nigh to those that are of a broken heart, and saveth them that are of a contrite spirit. ¹⁹ Many are the adversities of the righteous, but Jehovah delivereth him out of them all: ²⁰ He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken. ²¹ Evil shall destroy the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall bear their guilt. ²² Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall bear guilt.
