Psalm 34:1–12

1  I will bless the Lord pat all times;

his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2  My soul qmakes its boast in the Lord;

let the humble hear and rbe glad.

3  Oh, smagnify the Lord with me,

and let us exalt his name together!

4  I tsought the Lord, and he answered me

and delivered me from all my fears.

5  Those who look to him are uradiant,

and their faces shall never be ashamed.

6  vThis poor man cried, and the Lord heard him

and wsaved him out of all his troubles.

7  xThe angel of the Lord yencamps

around those who fear him, and delivers them.

8  Oh, ztaste and see that athe Lord is good!

bBlessed 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  cThe young lions suffer want and hunger;

but those who dseek the Lord lack no good thing.

11  eCome, O children, listen to me;

fI will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12  gWhat man is there who desires life

and loves many days, that he may hsee good?
