Psalm 34

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 By David, when he pretended to be insane before Avimelekh, who then drove him away; so he left: I will bless ADONAI at all times; his praise will always be in my mouth.

2 When I boast, it will be about ADONAI; the humble will hear of it and be glad.

3 Proclaim with me the greatness of ADONAI; let us exalt his name together.

4 I sought ADONAI, and he answered me; he rescued me from everything I feared.

5 They looked to him and grew radiant; their faces will never blush for shame.

6 This poor man cried; ADONAI heard and saved him from all his troubles.

7 The angel of ADONAI, who encamps around those who fear him, delivers them.

8 Taste, and see that ADONAI is good. How blessed are those who take refuge in him!

9 Fear ADONAI, you holy ones of his, for those who fear him lack nothing.

10 Young lions can be needy, they can go hungry, but those who seek ADONAI lack nothing good.

11 Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of ADONAI.

12 Which of you takes pleasure in living? Who wants a long life to see good things?

13 [If you do,] keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceiving talk;

14 turn from evil, and do good; seek peace, go after it!

15 The eyes of ADONAI watch over the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry.

16 But the face of ADONAI opposes those who do evil, to cut off all memory of them from the earth.

17 [The righteous] cried out, and ADONAI heard, and he saved them from all their troubles.

18 ADONAI is near those with broken hearts; he saves those whose spirit is crushed.

19 The righteous person suffers many evils, but ADONAI rescues him out of them all.

20 He protects all his bones; not one of them gets broken.

21 Evil will kill the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.

22 But ADONAI redeems his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

New Living Translation NLT

1 I will praise the LORD at all times. I will constantly speak his praises.

2 I will boast only in the LORD ; let all who are helpless take heart.

3 Come, let us tell of the LORD ’s greatness; let us exalt his name together.

4 I prayed to the LORD, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears.

5 Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.

6 In my desperation I prayed, and the LORD listened; he saved me from all my troubles.

7 For the angel of the LORD is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him.

8 Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!

9 Fear the LORD, you his godly people, for those who fear him will have all they need.

10 Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the LORD will lack no good thing.

11 Come, my children, and listen to me, and I will teach you to fear the LORD .

12 Does anyone want to live a life that is long and prosperous?

13 Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies!

14 Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.

15 The eyes of the LORD watch over those who do right; his ears are open to their cries for help.

16 But the LORD turns his face against those who do evil; he will erase their memory from the earth.

17 The LORD hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles.

18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.

19 The righteous person faces many troubles, but the LORD comes to the rescue each time.

20 For the LORD protects the bones of the righteous; not one of them is broken!

21 Calamity will surely destroy the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be punished.

22 But the LORD will redeem those who serve him. No one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
