34

A Psalm of DavidH1732, when he changedH8138 his behaviourH2940 beforeH6440 AbimelechH40; who drove him awayH1644, and he departedH3212. I will blessH1288 the LORDH3068 at all timesH6256: his praiseH8416 shall continuallyH8548 be in my mouthH6310.2My soulH5315 shall make her boastH1984 in the LORDH3068: the humbleH6035 shall hearH8085 thereof, and be gladH8055.3O magnifyH1431 the LORDH3068 with me, and let us exaltH7311 his nameH8034 togetherH3162.4I soughtH1875 the LORDH3068, and he heardH6030 me, and deliveredH5337 me from all my fearsH4035.5They lookedH5027 unto him, and were lightenedH5102: and their facesH6440 were not ashamedH2659.6This poor manH6041 criedH7121, and the LORDH3068 heardH8085 him, and savedH3467 him out of all his troublesH6869.7The angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 encampethH2583 round aboutH5439 them that fearH3373 him, and deliverethH2502 them.

8O tasteH2938 and seeH7200 that the LORDH3068 is goodH2896: blessedH835 is the manH1397 that trustethH2620 in him.9O fearH3372 the LORDH3068, ye his saintsH6918: for there is no wantH4270 to them that fearH3373 him.10The young lionsH3715 do lackH7326, and suffer hungerH7456: but they that seekH1875 the LORDH3068 shall not wantH2637 any goodH2896 thing.

11ComeH3212, ye childrenH1121, hearkenH8085 unto me: I will teachH3925 you the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068.12What manH376 is he that desirethH2655 lifeH2416, and lovethH157 many daysH3117, that he may seeH7200 goodH2896?13KeepH5341 thy tongueH3956 from evilH7451, and thy lipsH8193 from speakingH1696 guileH4820.14DepartH5493 from evilH7451, and doH6213 goodH2896; seekH1245 peaceH7965, and pursueH7291 it.

15The eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 are upon the righteousH6662, and his earsH241 are open unto their cryH7775.16The faceH6440 of the LORDH3068 is against them that doH6213 evilH7451, to cut offH3772 the remembranceH2143 of them from the earthH776.17The righteous cryH6817, and the LORDH3068 hearethH8085, and deliverethH5337 them out of all their troublesH6869.18The LORDH3068 is nighH7138 unto them that are of a brokenH7665 heartH3820; and savethH3467 such as be of a contriteH1793 spiritH7307.19ManyH7227 are the afflictionsH7451 of the righteousH6662: but the LORDH3068 deliverethH5337 him out of them all.20He keepethH8104 all his bonesH6106: not oneH259 of themH2007 is brokenH7665.21EvilH7451 shall slayH4191 the wickedH7563: and they that hateH8130 the righteousH6662 shall be desolateH816.22The LORDH3068 redeemethH6299 the soulH5315 of his servantsH5650: and none of them that trustH2620 in him shall be desolateH816.
