Psalm 33:10–19

9 Fear the Lord, you his holy people,

for those who fear him lack nothing.

10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,

but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

11 Come, my children, listen to me;

I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12 Whoever of you loves life

and desires to see many good days,

13 keep your tongue from evil

and your lips from telling lies.

14 Turn from evil and do good;

seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,

and his ears are attentive to their cry;

16 but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,

to blot out their name from the earth.

17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;

he delivers them from all their troubles.

18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted

and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

9 Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,

for those who fear him have no lack!

10 The young lions suffer want and hunger;

but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

11 Come, O children, listen to me;

I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12 What man is there who desires life

and loves many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep your tongue from evil

and your lips from speaking deceit.

14 Turn away from evil and do good;

seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous

and his ears toward their cry.

16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,

to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears

and delivers them out of all their troubles.

18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted

and saves the crushed in spirit.

9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints:

For there is no want to them that fear him.

10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger:

But they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me:

I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12 What man is he that desireth life,

And loveth many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep thy tongue from evil,

And thy lips from speaking guile.

14 Depart from evil, and do good;

Seek peace, and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous,

And his ears are open unto their cry.

16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil,

To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth,

And delivereth them out of all their troubles.

18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart;

And saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

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.

9 Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints!

There is no want to those who fear Him.

10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger;

But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.

11 Come, you children, listen to me;

I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12 Who is the man who desires life,

And loves many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep your tongue from evil,

And your lips from speaking deceit.

14 Depart from evil and do good;

Seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,

And His ears are open to their cry.

16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,

To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,

And delivers them out of all their troubles.

18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,

And saves such as have a contrite spirit.

9 You who belong to the Lord, fear him!

Those who fear him will have everything they need.

10 Even lions may get weak and hungry,

but those who look to the Lord will have every good thing.

11 Children, come and listen to me.

I will teach you to worship the Lord.

12 You must do these things

to enjoy life and have many happy days.

13 You must not say evil things,

and you must not tell lies.

14 Stop doing evil and do good.

Look for peace and work for it.

15 The Lord sees the good people

and listens to their prayers.

16 But the Lord is against those who do evil;

he makes the world forget them.

17 The Lord hears good people when they cry out to him,

and he saves them from all their troubles.

18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted,

and he saves those whose spirits have been crushed.

9 Oh fear Jehovah, ye his saints;

For there is no want to them that fear him.

10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger;

But they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good thing.

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me:

I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

12 What man is he that desireth life,

And loveth many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep thy tongue from evil,

And thy lips from speaking guile.

14 Depart from evil, and do good;

Seek peace, and pursue it.

15 The eyes of Jehovah are toward the righteous,

And his ears are open unto their cry.

16 The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil,

To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cried, and Jehovah heard,

And delivered them out of all their troubles.

18 Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart,

And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

9 Fear Jehovah, ye his saints; for there is no want to them that fear him. 10 The young lions are in need and suffer hunger; but they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good.

11 Come, ye sons, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah. 12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth days, that he may see good? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile; 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. 15 The eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their cry; 16 The 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. 18 Jehovah is nigh to those that are of a broken heart, and saveth them that are of a contrite spirit.
