‏ Psalms 34

Taste and See That the Lord Is Good

^{▼▼This psalm is an acrostic poem, each verse beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet} Of David, when he ^bchanged his behavior before ^cAbimelech, so that he drove him out, and he went away.

1 I will bless the Lord ^dat all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul ^emakes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and ^fbe glad.
3 Oh, ^gmagnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together!
4 I ^hsought the Lord, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are ⁱradiant,
and their faces shall never be ashamed.
6 ^jThis poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
and ^ksaved him out of all his troubles.
7 ^lThe angel of the Lord ^mencamps
around those who fear him, and delivers them.
8 Oh, ⁿtaste and see that ^othe Lord is good!
^pBlessed 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 ^qThe young lions suffer want and hunger;
but those who ^rseek the Lord lack no good thing.
11 ^sCome, O children, listen to me;
^tI will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 ^uWhat man is there who desires life
and loves many days, that he may ^vsee good?
13 ^wKeep your tongue from evil
and your lips from ^xspeaking deceit.
14 ^yTurn away from evil and do good;
seek peace and ^zpursue it.
15 ^aaThe eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous
^aband his ears toward their cry.
16 ^acThe face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to ^adcut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 ^aeWhen the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to ^afthe brokenhearted
and saves ^agthe crushed in spirit.
19 ^ahMany are the afflictions of the righteous,
^aibut the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He keeps all his bones;
^ajnot one of them is broken.
21 ^akAffliction will slay the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord ^alredeems the life of his servants;
none of those who take refuge in him will be ^amcondemned.
