Psalm 34 - ESV Bible - I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise...

Taste and See That the Lord Is Good

1 I will bless the LORD ¹at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul ²makes its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and ³be glad.

3 Oh, ⁴magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together!

4 I ⁵sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.

5 Those who look to him are ⁶radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed.

6 ⁷This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and ⁸saved him out of all his troubles.

7 ⁹The angel of the LORD ¹⁰ encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.

8 Oh, ¹¹taste and see that ¹²the LORD is good! ¹³Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!

9 Oh, fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack!

10 ¹⁴The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who ¹⁵seek the LORD lack no good thing.

11 ¹⁶Come, O children, listen to me; ¹⁷I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

12 ¹⁸What man is there who desires life and loves many days, that he may ¹⁹see good?

13 ²⁰Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from ²¹speaking deceit.

14 ²²Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and ²³pursue it.

15 ²⁴The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous ²⁵and his ears toward their cry.

16 ²⁶The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to ²⁷cut off the memory of them from the earth.

17 ²⁸When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.

18 The LORD is near to ²⁹the brokenhearted and saves ³⁰the crushed in spirit.

19 ³¹Many are the afflictions of the righteous, ³²but the LORD delivers him out of them all.

20 He keeps all his bones; ³³not one of them is broken.

21 ³⁴Affliction will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.

22 The LORD ³⁵ redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be ³⁶condemned.
