Psalms 34

1By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise <FI>is<Fi> in my mouth.

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

1I will bless Jehovah at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice.

2 My soul shall make its boast in Jehovah: the meek shall hear, and rejoice.

2My soul shall make her boast in Jehovah: The meek shall hear thereof, and be glad.

3Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together.

3 Magnify Jehovah with me, and let us exalt his name together.

3Oh magnify Jehovah with me, And let us exalt his name together.

4I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.

4 I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

6This poor <FI>one<Fi> called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him.

8Taste ye and see that Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.

8 Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him!

8Oh taste and see that Jehovah is good: Blessed is the man that taketh refuge in him.

10Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,

10 The young lions are in need and suffer hunger; but they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good.

10The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; But they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good thing.

11Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you.

11 Come, ye sons, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

11Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

12Who <FI>is<Fi> the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?

12 What man is he that desireth life, [and] loveth days, that he may see good?

12What man is he that desireth life, And loveth many days, that he may see good?

13Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit.

13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile;

14Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.

14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

14Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it.

15The eyes of Jehovah <FI>are<Fi> unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.

15 The eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their cry;

15The eyes of Jehovah are toward the righteous, And his ears are open unto their cry.

16(The face of Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)

16 The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth:

16The 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.

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

20He keepeth all his bones: Not one of them is broken.

21Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate.

21 Evil shall destroy the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall bear their guilt.

21Evil shall slay the wicked; And they that hate the righteous shall be condemned.

22Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!
